Got the car aligned on Saturday. Drives great! The mechanic said the toe was WAY out. Now it feels great driving it!

I do not know what is up with my car. Filled up this last time(right before the alignment) and only got 19.3mpg

. Mostly highway & interstate cruising at 70mph.
What the heck?

Lupin, I will look into the injector rebuild. Thanks!

I really enjoy driving the 300d and surprised how good it handles!
Corey you are correct in your assesment of what I'm actually gaining or saving per week but I drive double what you guessed(currently I drive right around 500 miles per week. Why can't I find a girlfriend that lives in town??). At that rate the difference is aprox $10/week or $520/yr. Heck $520 may cover the maint cost per year

.

Please don't misunderstand I Love this lil car! I do not mean to sound like a winey lil beeeaaaacchhhh but the reason I bought this car was for a durable economical commuter.
Thanks again for your help and ideas!!
