So far since seeing her I've got into double digits again in MPG. The only theory I've been able to come up with is that the ECU runs my engine sooooo damn rich at start up that my drive to work (all 2 miles of it) doesnt give it enough time to lean it out. Maybe one day I'll luck out and see a decent priced scan tool for sale and then hi-jack my girls laptop and see how the inside of my baby is doing.
The Spring run should be intesting though and I'll be recording all my milage per tank(s). Since this is all highway I should be lucky and get around 16mpg. Oh and there is nothing wrong with my baby she's just very damn thirsty bitch

No you are right... there probably isn't anything wrong with your baby. Its probably a simple case of P.I.B.S.S.W.

I was passed by a Jeep going at least 70mph on I-95 today. On the news, they showed three pretty bad accident scenes, all of which were SUV's. You would think that by the end of winter these friggin morons would have it figured out.

weak. sorry DRK.
My hardware got delivered today. Prlly worked out for the best that they forgot to send the lugs w/the wheels, since I'd have the whole set up on now - just in time for a potential snow storm Sun/Monday.

...of course, you can try to see if your cord tires will last through the run, but my car will not pull yours out of the swamp...
