OMG I need to put a 580 hp Lamborghini engine in Sophia!! That is awesome! Would probably ruin my gas mileage though. ;-) My Fiat got 44.65116 mpg this week with a mix of city and highway driving. I was hoping to average over 45 but didn't make it.

When I coast in neutral I still have power steering. I don't understand that one comment. My instantaneous mpg goes to --- if I coast in neutral without my foot on the clutch and also when I'm coating in gear with my foot off the clutch. But in gear, the car clearly doesn't coast as freely. I can feel the car held back. My mpg sensor seems to show that my mpg goes up more when in neutral. Also, my built in sensor said 46.6 today, so it's about 2 mpg off.

This was on 91 octane gas.

I feel that I'm still doing something wrong. I think Sophia has more potential. I guess I can try more in gear coasting just to test things.
