I used to get 23 - 24 MPG around town and over 30 on the highway.
When Oregon switched over to ##@*!@&#@!@(&#!@# ethanol in November, those numbers dropped. Now I get 22 -23 around town and, if I'm lucky, 28 highway.
This ethanol scam is starting to **** me off

I only see red Xs here at work so I don't know what he's showing, but here's my story. I've made 2 3000 mile trips up into Colorado from TEXAS and back. Fast highway driving and put-putting around behind Winnebangos. '03 A4 coupe and '04 Z16 both average about 30 mpg
overall. the 03 was 30.1 after all reciepts were added up. I picked up a 99 FRC not long ago from Carolina and drove it back to TEXAS. I knew the mileage was going to be fine. Near Houston the rice paddies are next to the highway so you know it's level. At 70mph, instantaneous mileage showed 37 to 39 mile per gallon. Unbelievable. Gas reciepts seem to back it all up. I feel more socially responsibe now that I'm driving an economy car.
