>>How are you measuring your mileage?<<<
I calculate each tank for 5-6 tankfuls every now and then, done same way
since new. Yeah my trip comp is overoptimistic also. Using non-synth oil,
tire p 32psi, stock engine kept in tune. Style is combo of easy going/get out
of my way, 70% hiway.

Interesting point about the fuel pump(gas station). In 1989 or so I responded
to a recall when they changed something on the gas tank. I remember the
notice said capacity woudl be reduced to, I think 18.5 gal. Every now and
then when I'm real empty, I'll tank up and the pump will read a little above
18.5. Makes ya wonder.

Hey anyone have 2 or 4 stock wheels 15",5 lug they'd like to get rid of?
