32.8 mpg! That's awesome. Now if you could just find an alternate country road with a 45 mph speed limit and no stops .

Another low-hanging fruit is keeping your torque converter from slipping. When you're accelerating, try to keep your rpms around 2200. If the tach speed climbs to 2500 or 3000, you're throwing away fuel.
