So our new family car should get an EPA 31MPG combined. My wife just pulled a 24... WTF! I tried to gently explain that it is the way she drives. But no! I'm the jerk. She likes to accelerate at 3,000RPM, until she hits 80MPH on a 65.

So how do I show her it is her driving style that soaks up fuel? Anybody with any experience with the spouse conversion?

I've been lucky enough with the second tank to do a fair bit of the driving, about 5 or 6 round trips of 40 miles. So we'll see how the FE rebounds...
