Thank you,

Ken@Japan
I figured it out. On my 10-15 minute, 3 mile drive to work, I found some ways and techniques to maintain a good 22-25 MPG. That's good for me. I read all your posts, and I agree. A 3-mile drive will not give me 38-40 MPG. The engine is probably not even warm enough yet

Anyhoo, like I said, I pulsed and glide'd myself to work today and I maintained the 25 I got from yesterday when I was driving in the highway. I just can't wait for the summer where I can really do long drives though.

So like Haroldo said, let's get back to the topic LOL Any other tips and tricks, I would be forever greatful!
