To those who answered in an informative way and helped this new rotary owner- thanks.

To those who are disturbed by it - sorry - but I thought the forum is the place to share info with folks...my mistake...this is internet after all

BTW rotten42 - where did you get the idea for your screen name?



this forum is a place for information...search for it before bogging down the site with another useless thread. Oh right, this one is different because it is from YOUR prespective.

You did say "let the fire start," so why the complaint? And if the internet jumped off the roof, would you jump off too?

As far as city vs highway mileage goes...you might look up the origins of the EPA numbers and the driving cycle. And the driving factors that affect mileage. Could be illuminating, and help you understand why you're getting the numbers you're getting.

Think about it - who's bogging it - me being new and sharing info, or you with nothing to say?? If the other threads weren't so full of crap and useless reponses like yours maybe the info would be easier to find.

The point is that if you actually searched, you'd find about 3 million other mpg threads...and maybe that might have deterred you from posting ANOTHER one. That's what we'd like to hope, anyways

maybe you need search button lessons...because if you couldn't find the info, you are a mental midget.

PM Mugatu...he would be happy to school you in the ways of the search button.....hmmm, maybe that might be too hard for you also.

Well, that answer is so well put together, so mature, and it addresses the topic and my response in a manner very few could produce- and I thank you for the tip.

Your intellectual superiority and wit far outclass my desire to continue this discussion. Have a good one my well spoken guru. Please don't forget to respond with equally well balanced language so you can have the last word in...

Thanks for sharing the info that you get better mileage during highway driving. Didn't know that. I should try it with my 8
