Yea, maybe your right that my driving condition sucks. It seems most of you guys have nice 20+ mile commutes. I use to have one of those, but back then I was not so concerned about gas mileage.

I was keeping track a while ago, and with my 25 mile commute, 20 miles highway @ 75MPG, 5 miles city, I was averaging 28MPG. I know for sure this car will do 30MPG+ If I go on a long highway trip and keep speeds to 60.

And to make matters worse, where I live there are lots of little hills all over the place. Nothing is flat.

Also, is it bad for an auto trans to throw the car in Neutral and glide sometimes? I have avoided doing this for fear that it might be bad for the trans, but I wanted to find out if anyone knows?
