Mike Merlotti from St. Louis, Missouri writes: 98 Ford Contour with a 4cyl engine and auto/trans. Drove back home from our lake house in southern Missouri 124 miles at 55MPH. Used 3.2 gallons of gas...thats 38.7 miles per gallon! That represents(if my math is right) a 29% increase in mileage over the EPA's rating of 30MPG for the car.....Take THAT Big Oil! I'm no Sammy Hagar, and I WILL drive 55! 55 MPH is the Silver-Bullet to stop these crazy gas prices!
