[Shotimes] gas mileage issues

[Hartberger, Jason M. ATAN]

I replaced the plug wires after the trip up, where I got like 12mpg...
running on 4 cylinders will do that to you. This was on the way back, after
plug wire replacement. I did run the heater, which I suppose explains some
of the loss, and I only run 92/93 gas in it... I may be poor, but I aint
cheap.
