I got it up to 36mpg on the last fillup, though I don't think I quite got the tank full, so it's probably more like 35ish, still a new record. I've started coasing down some of the really long hills I have, now I have to make the jump to shutting the car off while I do it. There's a single section I can coast down for about 3 miles without needing any accelerator at all. I kind of wish I had a MIMA hybrid there because I could be charging batteries instead of using breaks. Hmm....maybe I'll make my car a hybrid, throw some electric motors on the back wheels...some batteries...make it part time AWD at the same time for those snowy days....:P
