Do you drive on ice or something? There's no way an Intrepid can get 35mpg unless you're doing 55mph without any slowing or accelerating while going downhill on an oil road.

You can actually increase gas mileage in an EFI vehicle by leaving certain parts broken. In particular the fuel pump. Run the engine on the edge of lean and you'll get some nice figures in any car.

Well since I have full choice in doctors AND have never had to wait we are just going to have to agree to disagree and walk in different directions. Lets nip this in the bud before it becomes a P&N bitch fest eh?

And how many of them had their engines idling the whole time so they wasted more gas than they would have saved by just goign to a station that charged a bit more...
