<VV> 140-PG MPG? (humor?)

[Hank Kaczmarek]

Hi Bill

As you might know, I did drive a 65 140 PG around the Hampton Roads area
from 89-96. We both know the area well.
My drive was 12 miles--from Aragona Village to 811 E City Hall Ave in
Norfolk. So about 3.5 miles on city streets, and the rest on I 264.

I noticed that I got about 6 trips to work, 144 miles on 3/4 of a tank of
gas. That was with a foot into the secondaries most of the time.  If I
"feathered" the gas, I could get 8 trips.

You can tune it for optimum gas mileage, but how often you get into the
secondaries would change mileage drastically IMO.

Hank
