Not a problem. I noticed you have been lurking, when looked into your fuel log (totally not stalker-ish). Like I said before, the best thing you can do is change how you drive. Just from your tank-to-tank fill-ups you can see if you have been improving and from the looks of it you fill up often. If you are willing to try engine off coasting, you can see huge gains from it. WARNING: Before you attempt engine off coasting, be 100% sure your vehicle is capable of being flat-towed with the driving wheels on the ground!!! If not than I am afraid you are stuck with 2 options... Swap for a manual transmission or coast in nuetral.

I have recently installed an EOC switch into my car and I use it every chance I get. If I am going to be coasting or stopped for more than 10 seconds, the engine is going off. From this, a grill block and a little DWL I have gone from 33mpg average up to my current best tank of 41.7mpg!!
