Second best mileage to date. I bet once I get the front tires replaced (still have't pulled the trigger on that yet)and tune it up it'll break the 30 mpg barrier.

Mileage improving a little bit. Still haven't replaced tires. Noise is getting louder. Cupped pretty badly on fronts.

I didn't drive as "easy" as I usually do but didn't think it was that much harder than normal. Only other difference was the weather was colder here. Need to replace front tires, hopefully that will help some. They are way out of whack.....

Drove all week on one tank. Thought I might break the 30 mpg barrier but can't complain at all about 29.9! Amazing for such a large car with an automatic transmission.

This is remarkable mileage considering my route to work and the horrible traffic Monday, Tuesday and this morning. I drive 40 miles one way to work, mostly highway on Beltway 8. This mileage was obtained with at least 30-40 minutes each morning idling in stop and go traffic.
