So how 'bout it? What kind of mileage does *your* car get? PLEASE - only those of you that have actually measured the mileage! No EPA estimates, and no "I get *about* 50 mpg!" Lets have the cold hard facts!!! I'll start things off with: 1979 Jeep CJ-7, 304 cid (5 liters) v-8 engine. All time low: 6 mpg, all time high: 15 mpg, 4 year average: 12 mpg. 1984 Pontiac 6000 STE, 2.8 liter v-6 engine. First tank: 18 mpg. Most of my driving comes from the 5 miles to and from work in the northern Illinois climate (in the winter time, the car barely gets off the choke when I get to work). -- Larry Marek ihnp4!ihuxf!larry
