On the advice of another hypermiler, I have started monitoring MPG each trip I take, instead of just by the tank. This morning commute to work I got 49 MPG! Now that I know 50 is possible, I am obsessed with 50 MPG.

Side note - the main thing killing my overall MPG is city driving. Although Ford's and the EPA's number for my car is like 29 city, I am really only getting around 25-26 city (driving very conservatively). City driving sucks!
