I'm getting really upset at my bad mpg in the city. I do drive like an asshole, and on average end up around at least 4k to 5k rpms on side streets. If i feel like a nice stroll I might try to stay below 4k. I haven't really been writing anything down but I'm sure I'm under 25 mpg. It has been getting pretty cold out and I try to give the car about a minute to 2 minutes to warm up, so I feel that might be lowering the rate. I keep worrying that because I drive like I do that I'm somehow screwing up the engine or something....

Last time I went on the highway for vacation which was during the summer, I ended up getting 41 mpg. But that was before I started driving like a complete asshole.
