I find thot they get yau there foster if yau dant wander.

I have found that slow acceleratrion does not seem to help that much with milage. Really fast acceleration hurts milage (because you turn the engine up to high rpm) so finding the happy medium betwixt keeping it in low milage while accelerating for longer and getting into the no acceleration high milage mode sooner. To help with knowing that data is key. Get yourself an mpguino or scan guage if your car does not have instantanious and trip mpg readouts.
