I feel better now.
last tank netted me 31.5mpg avg, I must attribute it all to the tires being @ 40PSi.
I didnt even do a lot of hypermiling this tank due to the frustration of the last tank.
now Im hoping that the new set of tires Im putting on (thinner than the ones on it now) couple with some solid hypermiling is going to allow me to see some 33mpg avgs
