re: #133 thedopefishlives

I could get 50 mpg over a full week of driving when traffic was light.

What really surprised me was when I had a 2005 Ford Five Hundred with a CVT (perhaps the first US manufacturer to use a CVT in a passenger car) I was able to eke out 30 mpg - in a full-sized sedan.

I still see some of those beasts on the road up here (either the Five Hundred or the Mercury-badged Montego) - looks like that Duratec 3.0L is hard to kill.
