RN>I bought my '95 Mark VIII with 61,000 miles on it and it now has 72,000.

I did a filter and oil change when I bought it within a few days. Had the guy
go around the front end and hit all the zerks with the grease gun. So far, all
I've had was a flat tire on the rear, which I put a plug in myself here at the
house. I usually do all my own tire work. Only hit the tire shop when I'm
buying new tires, or need a tire balanced.


TR> That kicked the mileage per gallon up to almost 19 mpg, and when I
TR> fill up again I expect it will come out to be even better.


RN>I was getting over 30MPG on the highway on my drive back from Florida with
RN>it without the A/C on and even now it will get about that much, if you're
RN>not going over the speed limit.


I use the cruise control. Even on city streets that are long distances between
main intersections. go up to the speed limit, turn on the cruise control, and
let the car's computer do the fuel feed.


TR> I'm not used to getting that kind of mileage economy out of a
TR> vehicle this big. It feels weird to have a huge car with a big V-8
TR> in it that gets that kind of fuel mileage.


RN>I guess not.  That is excellent mileage.


I'm told this will get around 23 or 24 mpg on a long trip.
