Re: Gas Mileage
I totally understand the rationalization vis-a-vis mileage vs. penache. However, it seems to me that any 4-cyl. engine worth it's salt, would/should be able to pull off (easily) getting much more than 22MPG. That is precisely why I asked for inputs as to how others increased their mileage with this vehicle and engine. And many thanks to those who gave me their recommendations.
As an example of how far any rationalization goes. I also own a late model Corvette. It puts out just over 400HP. On the highway, I attain just under 22MPG and in the city, just under 19. That is with a V8, using premium fuel. Now the PTC is a great vehicle (and I do like the vehicle). But when a 4-cyl. engine does not outperform an 8 cyl. (w/over 400HP) on MPG, that's one heck of a compromise, no matter what the utlility or penache of that vehicle is. Just saying.......
