It dropped to 20.7 mpg. I've taken the Z, Grand Cherokee, Power Wagon, and motorhome across Kansas a number of times. And they each got their worst mileage in that state every time. Doesn't matter if I'm going east to west, or the other way.

Kansas aye? That's odd. Well there's always 80 or 40 next time to avoid Kansas... and you know, get better mileage.

I've taken I70, RT24, and Rt 36 across Kansas. Same results.

I'll take I80 if I'm going to Wy, or north part of Co. Then to Denver. Rt40 just takes too long time wise.

Some up-dates on the Z. Finally had to put a new battery in it. The oem battery lasted 12 years.

I put in an Odyssey battery.

After I removed the oem battery. I cleaned everything up under it.
