Hi everyone! At first I was skeptical that since I had an old car, that it wouldn't be possible to achieve my goal of getting 30 MPG. With traffic and all these other factors, I was trying my best and managed to get 30.2 MPG
(326.6 Miles, 10.828 gallons).
This makes me pretty excited since I didn't follow all of the tips yet, just basic stuff like weight reduction, driving no more than 60 MPH, driving barefoot, coasting and timing lights better. Lucky me, this month in VA is cooler than usual so no A/C needed, just the occasional crack of the window at low speeds.
For this next fill up, I'll try to increase the PSI in my tires from 34-35 to maybe 38-39. Also I've paid attention to the roads more carefully and seeing if there are straight long stretches of roads that I can attempt EOC.
I'll have to set my new goal to 35 MPG now. Hopefully I can further adjust my driving style to achieve this. Thanks for reading!
