[s-cars] Fuel Economy

[LL - NY]

My most recent mostly highway trip (Philly Region of east central PA to
Binghamton, (south central) NY) I got around 23 MPG, rather hilly country
(between 700 - 2000 ft) moderately heavy foot (a few cobweb clearings, a few
just having fun forays, and a few bug off encounters) but generally under 80
overall. This includes some spirited two lane hilly travel for the last 20
miles or so of the trip. In more around town type driving I gnerally hover
around 20 MPG.  I am MRC Stage 2 tune, otherwise stock in the drivetrain.

One comment, I swear that this ethanol encumbered crap has dropped the fuel
economy of all of my cars from the mid-twenties in the 'aughts  to the low
twenties in the 'teens".  I *used* to pull around 26 or so in my UrS on
similar trips 5 years ago (same with the Saabaru) but now low twenties (22
for the Saabaru, 23 in the UrS) seems to be the norm anymore.
