I've noticed that. Many new members come here looking for a "magic bullet" for fuel economy, and many of them stop posting (and maintaining their fuel log) when they learn that there is no "magic bullet". Most are not willing to "adjust the nut behind the steering wheel". That's just too much trouble.

And some of us are able to achieve 50% over EPA just by "adjusting the nut behind the steering wheel" and we consider it a fun game.

Different strokes....
