How I do. Drive like you stolen and cruise 75-80 mph on highway and drive hard when I am in city like you try get in first line on Telegraph in Dearborn from Woodhaven. Drove in reverse 35 mph for 2 miles. Why I was try figure why much drag so I thought drive in reverse for 2 miles would loose something.


If I drive really slow I get 9 mpg opposite drive like you stolen you get 11 mpg WTF.
Haha dude i totally understand you My dad has a vehicle (which i'd rather not talk about on this forum) and if you Drive the hell out of it on 87 octane it gets 10 MPG and if you cruise around slowly on 87 octane you get 10 MPG

However if you run it on 91 octane and drive it SLOW OR FAST you get 11MPG
So maybe you should try 91 octane and half throttle acceleration/ cruising See if that works out for you
