How are people getting over 40mph on their cars? Seems like the newer models get better gas mileage. I have an 07.

Look at the stickies in this section and go to the very beginning where most of the tips are. I got my biggest improvement from DFCO (2nd sticky).

Trying a new driving style and got 41mpg on my last tank I'm going to raise the tire pressure in the near future. Anyone get any mileage improvements with high end spark plugs?

Manual transmission, no road rage, rural roads, and thinking ahead. I live in a semi-rural area, and we have broad shallowly sloped mountainsides where you can coast on the downhill leg for miles. I drive the same handful of roads weekly, and know how to get the most out of them. Also, 45-50 MPH highway speeds are normal here. I'm currently averaging about 45 MPG on my car's 1 year birthday.
