Default That's 12-14 over an entire tank of short drives

I live 1 mile from where I work. I try to ride my bike or walk to work but when the weather is cold and nasty...

Default You're running a 300hp V8 in 3rd gear, when you have a 5spd transmission, over short hops.

Of course you're gonna get 14mpg 8p

This car gets it's high HWY miles from 5th gear.
