No, I4, but sticky tires

It's an LPT I4. I use SID for readings. When new (2002 or so), I had it run close to 30mpg once on a weekend trip of flat highway driving between Syracuse NY and Niagra Falls, with wife, 80lb dog and weekend clothing etc. on board. We live near Boston. The trip itself from Boston mostly showed about 26-27mpg, all according to SID. That's when the car was running stock Michelen MXV4's. MXV4's are not good in snow, expensive and loud. I have been running Continental Extreme Contact, Yokohama Avid V4, and now General Altimax HP. They all seem to deliver lower MPG, but they are all stickier tires.
