Gas mileage..or lack of

[<jvguilbault@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just drove my 76 NYB from Michigan to North Carolina.  Driving around the 
suburbs of Detroit I got 11.2 miles per gallon.  On the long interstate trip I 
got 14.5 miles per gallon.  I would say 12 miles per gallon is a good estimate 
for a normal mix of driving conditions.  I certainly wouldn't expect more than 
that.
