Bad gas mileage
Dunno what to tell ya... welcome to Austin, Tx... 2222 -> 360 from my house to work and back... plus up 360 @ 70-90mph.
Thats my routine... and I run it hard (2222 is a twisty fun 30-45mph (posted) road)...
Argue as you want, but I run ithe mother hard...and enjoy myself. Nothing much more to say about it really.

I have right at 14,000 miles on my car and I just noticed a decline in my mpg. It wasn't a major difference, but I used to average 27 or 28 mpg (as early ago as late May) on the interstate at 82 mph (4.5 hour trip). This past weekend the best I averaged was 25.7 at 82 (same trip). Could it be something as simple as higher humidity (as the temps were about the same)? It wasn't much over 75 degrees when I was getting my 25 mpg. After reading about the redline and amsoil products, I may have to order some of that.
As an experiment, just to see what kind of milage I could get, I drove carefully to/from work (surface streets) with the AC on and got 32.4 MPG. I was amazed, but I have not seen that since, usually get about 28 MPG. On the week ends my milage goes down accordingly, especially with eight runs at autocross. Milage is currently 29k miles.
I am currently paying $1.96/gal for 91 octane at Costco, other places it's ten cents more.

Why is the fuel down there so low in octane rating? We must use premium unleadead for the s2k here in austarlia and thats 96 octane. I use 98 octane fuel and in japan i think they have 100 octane.
