How exactly are you P&Ging?

I'd be inclined to suggest working on the basics before working on P&G, particularly in an automatic (you may be damaging it if you're coasting with the engine off).

I'm tempted just to buy a new car! These numbers are frustrating!
Biggest piece of advice: get instrumentation. ScanGauge is obviously not an option, but an MPGuino is. Way cheaper than a new car, too!

I've read of people in the same car getting 26-28 city and 35-40 highway... Those numbers seem impossible!
Not impossible, but depends on the details. One person's "city" environment is not everyone else's.
