Most of my driving has been short trips - to and from work. The past couple of days, I've had to drive about 50-60 miles on Interstate, other highway, and city streets. I've found that I got more miles on this tank than the 3 previous tanks. Being that I work nights, I end up in some pretty crappy traffic, and couldn't really help but to go with the flow of traffic. So, can anyone tell me why I get better mileage driving faster than slower?
