Talking Personal best w/ city and h/w mix - 39.8 MPG

Right now i could leap for joy and do cartwheels (that's if i knew how to do a cartwheel, lol). I just filled my tank and got a personal best ever, 39.8 MPG with a even mix of stop-and-go and highway driving . This week hasn't even been all that great for f/e either...some rain, wind, and colder temps. My best before today with a mix of city and h/w used to be 37.8 MPG. I usually have only gotten higher than 38 MPG before when it's most h/w driving.

Achieving this today is all because of this site. I recently installed a lower grill-block and a vacuum gauge. I have slowed down on the highways and i accelerate slower, watching the vacuum gauge. I also have been turning off my engine when i come to a light that just turned red.

Thank you guys for all the knowledge and thanks for this site .
