I've been coming close the last couple tanks, getting 47 to almost but not quite 50 MPG. I just filled up this afternoon on the way to work (thinking I had maybe a gallon left) and used exactly 8.5 gallons for 438.2 miles. I've only had my car since April 18th and have already driven almost 6000 miles. Next goal, 55 MPG then 60 MPG. Obviously a couple things need to change on my car (like going back to stock size tires (the previous owner installed 175/70-13's instead of 155/80-13's) and change my hubcaps to pizza pans. I'm also changing the oil this weekend to 5w30 full synthetic since it's due. Thanks EM for helping me save so much money and time.
