yea thats my problem but i don't drive an economy car anymore. i drive an 01 QX4 with the VQ engine, and everyone knows how those things eat gas.

I'd like to know what kind of driving these people do to get such piss poor mileage.
I've been keeping records for years on my various cars... these are averages:
1988 Accord LX = 26 city and 33 highway
1996 Civic LX = 31 city and 37 highway
1997 3.2 TL = 23 city and 28 highway
2003 3.2 TL = 24 city and 33 highway
2005 TL = 23 city and 30 highway

Forget ethanol made from corn, it sucks.
