I dropped my speed on the hwy from 75 to 65 (Speed Limit) and saw a 8mpg upswing immeadiately, minor tweeks at this time and religious driving habit changes and in less than 2 months I'm up 10mpg and climbing.

I will admit though, for the habitual speeder it has been the most difficult thing I have had to do ... This month I am concentrating on eliminating drive thru's in order to save fuel in idle time ... I'll make the excuse that the extra walking to the counter will help with the dbl quarter pounder .. LOL
