	On a recent trip to Minnepolis, Mn from northwestern MN, I averaged
27 mpg
	doing 65-75 most of the way with the A/C.  I drive a minimum of 65
miles
	daily at 65-70 (there is 8 miles in town driving at 30-40) and I
	consistently get 24 mpg.
	Now this is in a stock '92 100 fwd with 95K miles.  Using the sport
switch
	on the tranny does reduce my mileage to about 22, but I have more
fun with
	it =)


	BTW... when I was in Minneapolis this weekend, on I-494 south I saw
the
	most gorgeous bright yellow A6?Q that was following me (several car
lengths
	behind) for about 5 miles or so.  It turned off on 394. That was one
fine
	looking Audi... too bad I was in a hurry or I would have slowed for
a
	better look.  I only saw 2 A6s and 1 Wagon on the way down. 

	just my 0.02 worth.
