AMAZING to see the differences driving style can make to fuel economy

All of the people in my family keep close tabs on fuel economy (Doesn't change their driving style at all) but it's just an interesting thing to them

Well with my sisters 1988 Mercedes 190 E 2.3 she's always complaining about her fuel economy which seems strange cause our 1991 Mercedes 190e 2.3 does GREAT on gas. Then again i ride with her and see why, NO warm up hard acceleration and jackrabbit starts/stops

Well out of her car depending on the week she'll clock between 21 and 25 MPG .. not great for a 4 cylinder Well my dad drove her car for a few days.. just out of boredom. BOOM 29-30 MPG

I decided i'd try it just to see if i could do better in the car 32MPG Not AMAZING but still pretty good with nothing done to the car just shows a bit of how driving styles affect FE
