This ALLstate™ insurance commercial needs to be re-scripted to say something like "...You said women can't hypermile, but my ScanGaugeII shows that 'I CAN'; what milage do you get?...SILENCE!"

I took the wifes Sorento on the Interstate once and floored it. It looked like a diesel until I got up to speed and let off. I'll bet she hasn't floored it in 40k miles, but the GDI motors need some techron and an occasional flogging to get the carbon out.

That's the same situation with my wife. Once I learned how to most efficiently drive my Accord, I gave my wife my UltraGauge and she gets around 34-36 mpg in her Civic. I put it back in my car for a tank and she got 32. My mileage didn't really change the entire time, I just put it back in mine to test something for a tank, so I put it back in hers and everyone's happy.

If my ex drove my car, I would call the police. She never seemed to pay attention to my Ultragauge, which would explain why she broke it.
