Default Re: Optimizing MPG's on 2008's?

I bought my baby (his name is Duke) on April 28. Today, I put the 8th tank of gas in. When I calculated my tank MPG, I got a lovely surprise: 34.5!!! This is my first above 33, so the fact that on this tank I became a hypermiler is really exciting to me. I hit 3000 miles just before this tank. I also have been doing more of the coasting in neutral, and just today increased my PSI to 40. I'm hoping to get in a 36 MPG tank in this summer (but, since we're having another flippin' heat wave with temps over 90, I think the AC may have to come on once or twice.).
