you know what, honestly..i dont know if my mileage is goopd or not anymore. Yesterday i fueled 8 dlls in gas. i went to ysleta high school, bel air, back to socorro and to my house (on 3 dlls) then at ngith i added 5 dlls, went to 2 psrties..around 50 miles or city driving and crusing around. then its on empty again. everytime i add 5 dlls i takes me around 60 miles for the red light to come on, i drove it like that for another 20 miles of highway driving. so i got 80 miles out of 5 dlls of gas.

you in el paso? you drive a red mx3 with a carbon fiber hood? i saw one on friday and i said hi to him..dunno if it was you.
