Driving is dangerous. Life is a risk.

> Most of her driving is 55 and under. Why is the mileage bad at higher speeds? Is it the gearing, or is the fact that it has the aerodynamics of a cinder block? :hahano:

yea the gearing has mostly to do with that. a friend of mine has one and we drove out to norwalk last summer with her in her xb and me in my civic. i could have made it there and back on 1 tank while they had to stop twice to fill up. we were cruising around 80mph and they said the rpm’s were around 4k
