You may recall that blogged about driving more calmly in order to increase gas mileage. I forgot to do it for a few days, so I decided that I would make that last tank my control tank. Sadly, I’m only getting 28.5 MPG, which is lower than I recall getting the last time I checked. Not sure if my gas mileage has declined, or maybe i’m just driving worse, but it’s down by 10%! Hopefully by driving better I’ll be able to get that up. Stay tuned.Â
Hmmmmmm, that’s really strange. Have you been doing more city driving? A/C on full blast?
Yeah, who knows? I used to be an aggressive driver. JB has mellowed me.

Hey – here’s another tip for those who drive a manual – my friend Diane claims that if you skip 4th gear and go directly from 3rd to 5th, you can save on fuel. Try it!
