Aliens landing in D.C. and taking over Congress! lol. Was that our Dean? Or was that Dean Koontz? I have that dreaded disease > CRS.
Any way, what type/octane gas do you use? It does make a difference. What is the EPA mandated fuel mixture for your area. That also has an effect. City driving as described by the gov. is not necessarily what you are doing. If you are going stop light to stop light, then 11 is not critical. If you only have a few stops with some boulevard (sp?) and freeway driving, then that is another story. Use the best gas you can get, and only 93 octane. It made a diff. on my 00 lpt SW. And Deans advice below is good stuff. Spend some time with your car on the highway and then check. I think you'll end up happier. Good luck.
