42% Increase in MPG...

johndjmix1 - You are right on. Today just for fun I was on the highway and reset my mpg. Cruise Control is key for me, the instant I even tap the gas pedal with my foot the mpg drops.

At 58mph I was getting 18mpg up to 19.1 for 10 miles.
At 65 I was down to 14+/-

The city driving is what kills us.

Although I dont plan on driving 55mph all the time it is good to know in the event of a crisis.

I am trying to use the cruise control as much as possible. I am not so much concerned about the cost of gas, its more of a mental thing for me.

driving 55 = more time on the road to be pi**ed off by other drivers...

Keep the foot down and deep into the throttle.

Last month (normal driving): $1,149 on gas

This month (55mph max, easy driving): $585 on gas.

Driving slow sucks, but with $500 in my pocket now i think ill pick up some high end off road lights =)
