Hi All: It has been suggested by another member of this NG that
reformulated gasoline may be the culprit for a sudden drop in fueL
economy.  I have talked to some of my co-workers and at least one
other guy has observed a drop in gas mileage.
Anyone else?

Recently my wife had a skid on the newly snowed ground when driving our
Dodge caravan. It happened when she started off on a slightly steep slope
and going downward. It went on a speed lower than 20KM and came to stop
after hitting a side of a driveway. Then, it could not move anymore. When
the car was towed to a Dodge dealer and after examination, we were told that
the suspenpion of the front right side was broken. The whole set including
shaft needed to be replaced. It costs 5K Canadian to repair it. Does anybody
know if it would happen as I wonder if it involves manufactuering defect of
the part.
