Having just started looking at new cars again, and having an 80 mile a day round-trip commute, I have a couple of questions about the mileage figures now given for new cars: 1) Does anyone know how to translate between the single EPA estimated mileage figures now given to the older estimates of highway and city mileage they used to give? I always got closer to the highway than the city figures in the old ratings and want to know how to compare. 2) Is there any better source of mileage information. The EPA tests are much maligned, but the only other alternatives I have seen have been equally contrived and less generally available. -- Warren Montgomery ihnss!warren IH x2494
