I'm not doing anything special, if you're not going over 80, doing that little city driving and not stopping on the other portion of your commute, you should be able to easily get over 40 and closer to 50mpg.
yeah, i've been "driving without brakes" for the past few tanks, tire pressure was checked at each fill-up, shifting at 1500 rpm,
not sure what else i could do to improve those numbers.

considering the small benefits i've noticed versus the amount of pain and agony i've seemed to cause to other drivers on my trips, i think i'll go back to my normal driving- nothing aggressive, just taking it easy without working too hard.
