Re: [DML] help! newbie getting horrible gas mileage

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's been years since I had my auto tranny DeLorean,
but your mileage does not seem terribly bad.  Town
driving can vary a heck of a lot depending upon your
local town traffic patterns.  I beleive I got a tad
more than that, but not a lot.  

As to highway, remember, in Drive your ratio is the
same as the manual in 4th!  In other words, you do not
have "overdrive/5th".
