Wow! Drove to work with the new gauge and I know I can use it to squeek out a lot better mpg. Turns out, my idea that keeping the rpms low once I got up to speed has been killing my MPG's I also learned to play the throttle a bit under acceleration. By using light throttle at first and then increasing throttle as the reves increase I can accelerate almost as fast but much more efficiently. Can't wait to see my improvement on the next tank!
