It went from around 17 to about 11mpg. there has been a killer head wind for the past week or so. I know my O2s are fine, checked them. I'm hoping its been the wind. XJs arent known for there aerodynamics.
Yes they use the 10% in FL also, it stinks. Haven't found a station in Springfield yet that offers non. Haven't looked to hard either. In FL it was about a dollar more a gallon for non.

Terrain and elevation
The elevation isn't a lot in most of MO, but it is enough to drop your MPG considerably if you do have a moderately hilly terrain. You will notice the drop more when you come from a relatively flat terrain like FL. I totally agree with the ethanol difference.

Oh yes!
Crossing my fingers for a blizzard.
I get to test and see exactly how bad having front and rear auto lockers really are on snowy pavement.
I'm thinking probably bad enough that it really is not safe over 5 - 10 MPH.

Not going to hold my breath on the snow front. Didn't get to play in it at all last year in Liberty/Kearney. As dry as it has been, I'm not expecting much this year either.
Hopefully it surprises me...

The part that I figured would be dangerous with auto lockers in the snow would be going around corners.

That's not bad at all. i think that's a misconception It doesn't grab and slide like people say at least not for me. What kind of auto locker are you talking about? Im running a lock right front and Detroit rear

I'm running aussies in the front and back. I guess as long as your coasting through the corners then the wheels should be able to run at different speeds.
