Yes, I usually don't drive for economy, for the most part. The weird thing about the ECU and EHA failure, was that gas economy was still good. The last time I calculated mileage was on a trip back from Albuquerque to Denver, which was sometime in late November. I was cruising 80mph the whole way back, and as some may know...that is a good chunk of uphill driving until you get past Pueblo. I averaged 25.5mpg. I imagine if I had been cruising at 75 or even 70, I could have eeked out 26-27mpg.

Once I replaced the ECU, my gas gauge was visibly moving while driving. Very odd combination of part failure IMO. Now that everything is copacetic, I shall do a full tank and calculate mileage.
