last 2 tanks in town i got 18.34 and 17.5. the 17.5 is after install of the RB Revi Intake so i was playing some more.

Perhaps my definition of highway driving is different... I suppose if you put the cruise on and removed your right foot completely for a complete tank of uninterrupted driving then 24-25 is to be expected. I'm just not capable of that I guess

HHmm now I just have to figure out how to connect my video out of my PDA to my Navi, and can have realtime info on the Navi about my car functions, or better yet make a conversion program to graphically convert the data into some type of gauge like-look . . . hhmmm . . .

oh yeah thats exactly what i mean and thats what the epa numbers are a measure of. and i even pull my foot up away from the pedal real close to the seat so i can get comfy. probably should keep it closer to the pedal for safety but my knee has other ideas.

You are being facetious, right?

Well, my real problem isn't the cost of fuel or the distance I have to drive. I only have to drive about 5 miles to work and around town, which is a small town. I tell you, my real problem is a "feeling of guilt" about driving a car that gets bad gas mileage when I'm one of these people that keeps saying we need to move away from gasoline into alternative fuel engines. I feel like such a Blasphemer!

I have a developer working on an open, cross-platform utility to do just that. There are some proprietary solutions being worked on by others, as well.
