	You're doing pretty good if you're actually getting 24 (did you
	calculate that or are you going by the read-out?).  I see a big
	difference between city and freeway driving  -- less than 20 mpg
	in the city, and about 24 on the freeway. I'm pretty sure it will
	get up to 27 or so on long-distance cruises.

	I believe the EPA rating of the car is 17/24, so we're doing OK.
