Ya..my normal routine was probably 90/10 city/hwy any I usually got 13-14 in a 35i. However, at that shockingly low number, I only drive <9k mi/yr, so a tank would last about 3wks so I was ok with it. How much worse can a 50i really be?
I was willing to go from the 35d to a 35i because I was only getting 19mpg in the diesel. My thought was: how much worse could it get? Turned out to not be nearly enough different to mess with nasty diesel.
