Thanks Wayne. So what I have heard from you and others is that it can make a difference. It just seems like alot of work. As you mentioned, I can make a bigger difference by reducing my speed.
My good trips are everyday driving to work. I can average 65 MPG round trip. But my highway trips are dragging down my average. Thats because the wife and kids just want to get there ASAP. They don't care about mileage. So I get outvoted 3-1 on how fast to go.
I have been running lots of tests to determine how I can best improve my MPG through other techniques. I have found that my car LOVES cruising at 35 miles per hour. I regularly get 85 MPG on long stretches.
My work is bearing fruit. Keep an eye out for my next tank. I currently have 490 miles at an average of 71.1 MPG. Watch out! I am creeping up on you!
