LOL...Thanks Trail.

I am in no way bragging.

Snakz... first time out of the dealer, I got 45 mpgs. When I got the car I figured it was an econobox, I should drive it like one. I didn't expect it to get that high right out of the box. Getting 45 mpgs encouraged me to look up how to improve the number.

I urge you to try just 3 things:

1. Drive at speed limit (most important factor)
2. No redlight racing.
3. Smooth starts and lots of coasting.

(if you want more, look up the stickies in the "Fuel Economy Section")

Try it for 1 month.

There are many many members here, on Cleanmpg.com and gassavers.org who will look at the 3 items and will whole heartedly agree that they work.

At one point my mission was to break the 50mpg barrier, took some extra work and I finally did it early summer. Even having hit 50 mpgs, I'm not at the top. It amazes me that others are up there, I'm proud that a member here with an Hatchback Auto-tranny has beat 50 mpgs for about 4 straight tanks? Then there is Bailout...

I'm happy with my average... don't want to keep working for 50mpgs.

If I could only drive down an endless mountain..I wouldn't need an 18wheeler and get infinite mileage (granted till friction wears everything down). If you read up just one of Bailout's(member here) post, you'll know how I could achieve infinite mileage in this particular circumstance- Hypermiler's wet dream.
