yeah it bit low for oyu, but then again i drive a stick, i average about 23-25 city with conservative driving (shifting under 3K) and on the highway something around 30-35 at about 60-70MPH and its true, i though i got sh!tyy mileage until i drove ont he highway, but serioously i can get into the upper 20s and lower to mid 30 on the highway. sineo is crazy bast@ or bi!ch, i not sure if there a her or him, but it is possible to get good MPG witht eh v6.

I'm not crazy and I'm not a bitch, I was kidding around (a continuation from a previous thread), so settle down. It's definitely possible to get good mileage with the 2.8 and you can get some amazing mileage doing long distance, highway driving, but those aren't the numbers the original poster was asking about.

To the original poster, what's your highway/city driving mix?

It's an automatic by the way, and I do probably 80% city, 20% highway which is probably contributing to my mileage. Last time I tried, my vacuum line didn't have suction for the seafoam, I'll try and get to the bottom of that. On my previous cars that stuff worked really nicely. There was so much white smoke too, it was crazy.

Thanks for the replies

I don't remember where the good Seafoam DIY is, but in it, they use a nipple coming off of the suction pump...I couldn't get any suction out of that one, but the one immediately to the left of it on the suction pump sucked like a champ. Try that one instead.
