How is your XR on gas??
As above...
I run 94 octane on mine normally... but at the minute my fuel gauge is not working, so im filling up between $30 $35 every 150 miles.

Prepare for excessive data.
Okay, ready? My fill-ups for the last year or so:
If there's an extra zero on the front of a number, that's just to align the columns properly.
Average gas consumption over that period of time is 19.97 miles per gallon. All of the data is based on mixed city and highway driving, with highway miles being about 60% of the distance and 33% of the time.
We had 4 or 5 ice storms last winter where I idled the car for a long period while scraping the windows. Here's the yearly trend.

BW, I'm taking three guesses on this one:bw_krupp wrote:29 mpg city/36 mpg hwy. I'm a more lazy driver than most though, right foot doesn't see much action. Drive by the vacuum gauge and keep it right at 70 mph.
1. This post was supposed to be on the Ford Focus form.
2. You've done the hybrid retrofit on your XR.
3. Those magnets taped around the fuel line REALLY DO work!
Come on, dude...give it up.
