thanks, it hasnt been easy as I have to pull out on a main highway every morning, but I start in 2nd gear (manual trans ROCKS !) and dont take RPM above 2k most of the time, occasionally 2.5k if I need to accelerate more than Id like
a LOT of coasting to stops and am finally getting the lights (a whopping 2...) timed better.
but, with projected gas prices, Im pretty sure Im going to sell off the "X", I simply cannot afford to put $70+ in it every 2 weeks. if I had a car that averages EPA 28mpg+ city and its manual, Im betting I can get upwards of 35mpg city.
