hi folks,
just got back from a long road trip, like so many of you, i'm sure (in u.s., that is). going from sf to la, about 400miles, i've got better than 30 miles per gallon (us), on 2000 obs - it has about 40k miles. seems surprising, as last time i made the same trip, when the car had about 20k, i've got about 28 mpg. i would have thought that engine break-in would have been done by 20k, but perhaps not. btw, on the return trip, i tried premium gas (91 octane), and the mileage went down to about 27mpg. go figure. (the manual states use of 87 octane or higher)
