39.4

Being the hippie-wanna-be that I am, I'm not crazy about driving an hour each way to work, it uses a lot of gas (in addition to taking a lot of time). I am happy to report that the Mazda has gotten over 39mpg each of the last two tanks, this morning it worked out to 39.4 miles per gallon. Pretty impressive for a 15 year old car. It also makes me angry that the auto-makers are fighting the increase in CAFE standarda...

Wow. I'm impressed with your 39.4 mpg. Our old van, a 1992 Dodge Caravan SE which just died on the side of I-91 for the last time, was getting 100 mpg. That's 100 miles to the gallon of oil - the lubricating kind! :}We only got 14 mpg of gasoline at the end - it was the same age as yours so your Mazda's doing great.
