You guys did read that the ECM shuts off fuel to the engine under specific (coasting) conditions; hence the high instantaneous readings. I recall a 1500 rpm figure.

Oil crunches??

I thought it was just the crisp bills that spend so much less time in my billfold!

Interesting to see that gasoline pricing there has not risen anywhere near as much as here. I filled the motorcycle last week in Japan, at prices that might be 10% higher than they were; not double; nearly triple, as here.


Global; schmobal, oil price increases. Interesting that no press articles I have seen, link our high prices to the oil companies' huge (obscene?) profits.

I got 28 mpg on my last trip to Dallas. My average is about 60% hwy. 40% city and it's usually 21.7 mpg. Unless, I'm in a bad mood, then it's about 15

You don't get any mileage but I bet you still enjoy the ride to the gas station.....

I was pleasantly surprised when I found my 94 getting 23-24 MPG. Wasn't really expecting that. But if I get a heavy foot, it doesn't do that wel l:duh
