WOW! thanks for the honor . I certainly appreciate it. I havent had a computer for about a week, so I just found it. awesome though, I have a lot of tips to share and will be posting them very soon. Enjoy everyone!
My last tank I got 18... City driving tho... Right now, I'm mostly highway at a steady 55 mph w/ cruise control and only drove city one time so far... So we'll see what happens... I'll be happy w/ 25 mpg.

It's only in your head that you get there a lot faster, if you want to get there at an average of 60mph while getting gas mileage as if you were driving 50mph, it's possible. It does take some getting used to. As an example, I can drive an average of 50mph on the highway, this gets me about 50mpg. If all my driving was highway, 40mpg on a tank would be disappointing. I do all city driving though...
"My last tank I got 27. I have not seen mine that good for a while."
That is a pretty good start. I am currently trying to see what I can get without doing too much. Without doing any shut offs I can get about 30mpg (city driving). If I do "ICE off" I can get about 40mpg.
If I don't do shut offs on the highway I can usually get 37mpg, however, with shut off I get 50+...for the record, last time i was on the highway I got 56mpg over a 20mile trip coming home, going there I got 46. My best all city trip however was 58.9mpg over 13 miles.
I am pissed! I did all highway driving at a steady 55mph at 2krpms and I went into town twice, once to pick something up and once to get gas, followed the speed limit and coasted most of the way, and only got 20mpg! It has to be bad gas...
EDIT: I've only been getting bad mileage since I took my ground wires off... I reconnected them today so we'll see what happens...
