With my Vibe I was about 26MPG on my school commute today.

The line was so long it took three greens to get me through. Result: 25.6 on the way home as an average day MPG. Although I did learn another thing today while driving in the fresh powder snow: driving carefully in the powder increases your fuel economy.

Hopefully some good insights come in this thread. I'm new to eco-modding, so hopefully I'll learn from your mistakes.
