Welcome to the community Mark!

Thanks for the good driving tips and good sence thread.
I haven't personally seen the CBS special but I'm not sure how they could portray only 32MPG as normal.
Seems like many leading news articles are badly distorted these days from CBS, NBC, CNN etc.

6. I haven't proven this to myself yet, but my Civic seems to get lower mileage when I top off the tank. Has anybody else experienced this?
I'm only at about 10K miles but I haven't noticed that about a topped off tank.
At least I'll have to check that out soon.

Down here in Georgia we don't have much use for snow tires but it does occasionally get mid-20's at night here in the winter. Back then in Jan-Feb when my car was bran-new I still got mid 50's, without even knowing how to maximize MPG.

I'd like to envite you to enter your cars data into the Real Mileage Database and help us all out. B)
Anyway welcome and happy to have you as a member.
