it's generally one or the other not both lol... i'll average between 23-25 mpg and over 400 miles between fill ups, and you're very familiar with the 1999 LS so that should be pretty indicative of my average driving habits

I dont really mind if other people decide to drive the speed limit, but please just stay out of the passing lane.
