Mileage discussions always remind me of my late Dad's oft used bromide: The first liar doesn't stand a chance! Having said that, I think that you can be very satisfied with 26 mpg. I have twin turbo's and just having them almost forces one to "use" them. While I don't check local mileage, I know that I get from 23 to 26 mpg, overall, when taking trips, depending upon just how well my radar detector is working! Dick Ryan VIN 16867
