No long journeys?
Your average is about my worst so far – but I don’t normally use a/c; you probably have to living where you do
On the other hand, you didn’t pay $3.49/gallon (though it’s down again now – I had trouble reaching $30 for the tank tonight!)

No, no long journeys so far. Typical week is 120 miles to San Diego, 1.5 miles to work and back each day, a few 5-10 mile trips for shopping etc and then back 120 miles at the end of the week.

I paid $3.069 last night, under $40 for a tank!

RB: Do you think just one thing like the tailpipe would be the cause? Hum, I wonder.
Josh Wardell: Ouch. I'm guessing that is because of the tailpipe recall?
