I just put in fuel filter cleaner, and I checked the tire pressure on the tires and everything is good now. I better get over 300 this time...

I usually get about 280 to a tank (although I don't go right to empty). Just drove from rochester and back, with some mixed driving in between, am over 300miles and have just under a quarter of a tank. Going to fill up tonight. We shall see.

Yeah that's me right there, without a/c

I got a wooping 18 MPG last week with the A/C on most of the time while driving, and I'd say about 90% city myself. Then again, because of the load on the engine and reduced power delieverance to the wheels, I'd shift late so that's another factor.
