MPG and oil temp



Hey guys & gals-

I'm enjoying having instant access to the data on my VR6, but I'm curious
how it compares.

Two questions:

   1.   What kind of average MPG are you getting over a tank of gas? My GLX
	only has about 2,400 miles on it, so it's not really broken in yet.
	I feel pretty good if I get above 22, but I'm also having to get gas
	fairly often... Yeah, I know, it varies according to how aggressive
	you drive. :-)

   2. 	I saw Abe (I think) mention that he doesn't push the engine above
	3,000 RPM until after the oil temp gets above 180. Is this a good
	rule to follow on a regular basis? Do others have guidelines on this?


TIA
