Ok I have had this car for a while now and I burned off the first 3/4th of gas that I got with the car and got about 33MPG.

I honestly used no hypermiling tactics at all. I drove with traffic, although I do have to say I am a bit biased because I still can't keep hitting the gas towards a red light.And I keep the speed limit.

Now I have changed the oil, oil filter, changed the spark plugs, sea-foam in the vacuum lines and about an ounce in the gas tank, removed the air intake hoses / HAI, removed the passenger side mirror, antenna removal, new PCV valve and started EOC trying my best to DWL and without brakes.

Now I driven 496 miles I burned 12.46 gallons out of 13.2 and got 39.8MPG

This week I will work on a grill block and a kill switch because it is annoying having my OBD2 sensor lose power and have to reconnect to my phone via Bluetooth + torque.
Sometimes it doesn't reconnect automatically and it is annoying. Now I understand why you guys have the scan-gauge.

Driving is fun again. This is so addicting. Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
