Fuel Efficiency 1983 Style

The gas gauge on the Jeep hasn't been working too well for awhile so I've been keeping track of the mileage in an attempt to find out how far I can drive until I run out of gas. Yesterday I went to the gas station, filled up, checked the mileage and determined the Jeep is getting 9.3 miles per gallon. So much for fuel economy. I will admit I rarely drive it on the freeway so stop and go driving contributes to the low MPG.....but being 30 years old and having the aerodynamics of a brick doesn't help :)

Oh by the way....I filled up the tank and now the gas gauge says "full". Last time I filled up the gauge didn't leave "empty". Go figure!
