outstanding georgia, i appreciate the speedy reply and as always; your knowledge is greatly appreciated.

i'm definitely starting to pick up the techniques, a combination of the research i've done and plain ole driving experience. currently have a tank of about 170 miles and still averaging above 60mpg. the goal is to keep the whole tank this way but its going to be a hard time running, especially with my 05 hch's gauge being 3 whole mpg off :/

perhaps the dealer can give me some information on why this is so?

take care and thanks again!
