Ummm...what do you guys think about all this? I think he's been reading the CEG Forum too much. I get only 19-20 mpg, too. Wish it was better. I could improve it considerably by putting a 2 inch block of wood underneath the gas pedal.  Once again, my two Duratec Contours have been as trouble free as anything I have ever owned (as has my wife's Sable). Certainly the 'Tours are 1000 times more reliable than ANY Microsoft product I've had the honor to use!
