[Shotimes] gas mileage issues

[Scot Hewitt]

Jason,

I agree with everyone else's assessment - your ATX seems fine.  This time of
year you will get winter formulated gas and that seems to drop my fuel
efficiency by roughly 10%.  Also, I warm up 5 minutes every morning, so that
takes a few % off too!  In an Expedition getting 13 mpg on the HIGHWAY - you
hardly notice it.  24 mpg seems great to me!

95 Red MTX - 68k
Lewiston, NY - Forecasted high of 2F tomorrow!
