I can probably answer #6. The answer is yes, it can fluctuate that much. I moved across town recently and my speed on the way to work went from an average of 35-40 miles per hour to 50-55 miles per hour and my mpg went from 13 to 15. But now that it's getting cold out, it's dropping back to 13. These engines seems to be very picky about things like temp and speed. I'm also at 6500 ft., which doesn't help any.

Now that all of that's been said, I hope you have the 3.0L. If you don't, disregard this post.
