Sad sad day when an automotive forum is worried mostly about MPGs.

WOW everyone is a wee bit sensative. I was joking. you know haha-haha... If i was worried about gas mileage I would not own my rover nor would I have just completed a 2200 mile rolling trip with my wife and dog from central Pa, up to Bar Harbour, ME thru the White Mountains, Green Mountains and, Catskills and then back thru the Delaware Water Gap area. Next time I will just say gee that looks stupid... but hey hope they have fun with it.

It's more depressing when people are worried about it on a forum that averages 10mpg.
