Got a shade over 33mpg last week and crossed the 200,000 mile mark as well. Headed in the right direction and I think that lowering the car has helped inch it higher.
Now that I've got the car running right and the suspension isn't going to fall apart I think it's time to take it to the next level with some aero mods and better driving habits. I have a tendency to go with the speed of traffic on the highways which is right around 70-75MPH. I think that over the next couple of tanks I am going to try to take more 2-lanes to get my cruising speed down around 50-55 on the commute. Road construction has been hindering my commute as well since I drive 1/2 at highway speeds and 1/2 in stop/go traffic.
