I have been trying not to accel fast, and living in a packed place/close to the city, I have 99% of people who always speed. And this includes having to rev to 2000rpm minimum when allowing it to change gears because the guys behind will have a titty attack and almost hit my bumper.

As for driving the speed limit, it says 50mph, most people during the day do 60-65, and at night up to 70. So you see its hard for me just to even do 60mph at times. But even so, I tried my best and only got 32mpg. Mind you this is also after taking out two 12" sub's and changing back to stock rims/tires. I guess Im just unlucky with my car?

Also, I have now about 24,000 miles on the car.
