[V8] V8 MPG actual

[diemarthadie at aol.com]

In my stop/go short drives in the city I was typically around 14mpg 
while on the times it was mainly highway it was regularly in the 25 
range.  I often touched the 30mpg range on long highway drives.  Avg 
32mpg from Providence to Philly on one journey.  Since my mix had 
become 95% city, the cost of premium was killing me and my average was 
closing on 11mpg on some weeks.  It was the final deciderer in selling 
the car (that and knowing it went to a list member).

I know quite a few of us watch our MPG religiously since it so often

indicates an issue in our cars when it drops.  This whole cash for 
clunkers

debate had me talking elsewhere about the fueleconomy.gov rating for our

cars (14mpg.)  And of course, folks over there can't seem to wrap their

heads around how an older V8 powered car can possibly get 18, 19, or 
even

20mpg for an overall mpg average.  So if you all know your mpg, what 
are you

getting?



My 1990 seems to average around 17 city, 22ish highway, and tank to tank

around 19 doing about 3/4 in town 1/4 highway.
