Holy Return of the Gas Mileage Batman

WOW... All I can say is wow. I replaced the spark plugs a few weeks ago and the car came alive. Last week I replaced the fuel filter and this weekend I changed the oil. I made a jump of roughly 10 to 13 MPG up to the mid to high 20 MPG range with normal easy going driving. I am so happy. I used to make the 50 mile round trip commute to work at a 1/4 tank eating rate. Now I can get back and forth twice before I expend a 1/4 tank. I did however realize that it takes roughly $60 to fill the tank up from nearly empty.

Another note is this. My butt-o-meter says the car feels faster. Hooray.

Penny = '92 = 159K = 22 MPG in the city = 29 MPG straight highway
