I was just thinking earlier today that out of all the cars I own. The one with the best mileage also has the most HP.
2000 Chevy Astro van w/ 4.3 V6 - 17-18 mpg (150 crank HP if it's lucky) 2004 Chevy Silverado w/ 6.0 V8 - 12.5-13.5 mpg (300 crank HP) 1992 Eagle Talon w/ 2.0 turbo 4 - 19-22 mpg (regular commuting) (mid 500 crank HP) Ha... Go figure I can drain an 1/8th of a quarter of tank of gas in the Talon in one quarter mile blast at wide open throttle though.

AS far as poor winter mileage, I've always been told that the fuel mix for winter is the cause for this vs. the summer mix. well... from what I understand they add extra alcohol to the fuel in the winter.... no need for "heat" in the tank anymore, but it burns off faster than gasoline. -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!
