No more EOC's for me. I mean I can, and will, just not with P&G. We'll see. If I burn it up, it just gives me a reason to put in a manual. Lol.
My current mileage best is from driving normal. No hypermiling techniques at all. I know with some of these, it will help greatly.
I've heard of the diesel Vic. Didn't hear about the mileage though.
I know that diesels generally get better mileage. I like your suggestions.
I was thinking the other evening, what about the new 3.5 EcoBoost motor? It could definitely have enough power to move the car. And with the turbos, it could have a better FE than my archaic 4.6L. But who knows!
I'll start a fuel log tomorrow and document my normal driving so I can have a baseline for city and highway/trip mileage.

Thanks for all the input guys! I appreciate it!
