It is alleged that Dale claimed:

; just purchased a 2000 mazda 626, 42000 miles excellent shape.  On net two
; places stated should expect 34 MPG hiway, 28 in town.  I am getting 24 on
; hiway.  Any suggestions?

Are those mileage stats for the same engine and transmission combo you
have?  Mazda's smaller engines always get better mileage than their
larger engines, and automatic transmissions always get lower mileage
than manual transmissions (unless you're constantly keeping it in a
lower gear).

Also, tune up, etc.
