go to the website below my car, right above my average, www.cleanmpg.com if ya have any trouble. just be  nice and easy, and some small changes in driving habits can net you a 20% increase in gas mileage. better yet, here's a link. the first link is my mileage log, the next are some hints, i avoid drafting...other stuff is easier, takes some getting used to, but it works....

http://www.cleanmpg.com/index.php?page=garage&displayunits=MPG(US)&viewcar=960

For this link, just scroll down to where it says "section III advanced hypermiling techniques"

http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1510

Just make sure you're safe about it. you become a more patient, more conscious driver. my next goal is 40mpg average, gonna be tough but...it's possible.

it looks like their is a lot of little things that make a difference.  im going to try some of those.  my biggest one is my driving habits, i guess the bring is not my go car so.  i hope when i change my plugs next weekend that helps some.  so what was the biggest breaker that made your mpg better?

buying a scangauge II helped quite a bit, it lets you know your fuel usage so you can know instantly how well you are doing. This helps you with knowing what to improve on instantly. I do the speed limit, i never go over 65 and that's never constant. when I do it's a "pulse" only to glide back down to a lower speed. from the manual, my car gets best gas mileage at 50mph, so if i don't want to "pulse" then around that speed, up to 55 is where I'll stay to make sure I'm not affecting other drivers around me. If I had the 5speed I could do 50mpg on the highway. Pulse and glide may be annoying at first, but you get used to it, a ten mph difference for pulsing and gliding is hardly noticeable.
