Last fill up was in the middle of Sept, 130 miles ago, ouch. Funny thing is that I'm not heavy on the throttle.

You 3.8 liter, big HP guys are starting to **** me off. . With JJB, CJ, Scott (Bradford), Don (911/Q45), four of you come straight to mind. How many others are on this board?

First time driving w/ the new engine I was pleasantly surprised to read she was getting like 25mpg instead of the usual 20mpg. After the tank gauge went down twice as fast as normal I realized something was up. Dunno how the mpg is calculated but can't imagine the 60# injectors helping fuel economy.
