Good point.
I am now at the 1/2 mark at my fuel guage, and I'm 50 miles over normal. I just might hit 26 on my first tank here.

A few questions from before I still wonder about:

1. How do you DWL if you're already in the bottom of your top gear? You don't downshift to go lower on a hill do you?

2. Is the inability to hold compression in older cars a major factor in preventing good MPG when doing P&G?

3. Do some automatic trannys lock up the torque converter to slow you down in the manual low gears?

thanks to anyone who has insight here.
