But, a light foot makes a HUGE difference.

I just put a new head on my '94 Escort. Runs noticeably
better, and on the first full tank since the work, I got
34.5 mpg. That's strictly city street driving in Grass
Valley, approx 2200 feet, and not much level ground. I
believe it was only rated 30 mpg new. Fueleconomy.gov has
revised numbers to reflect how '08 cars are tested, and that
down rates it to 26 mpg city.

Can't wait to see what I can squeeze out of it on a long
highway trip! Not too shabby for a car I paid $1600 for...
