I deliver pizzas in this car, we are talking about 75% city. Knowing I never stay at 45-55 mph for any long stretch of time kills my mileage but here I am flirting with 40mpg so its a good ego boost to know if i did take a trip and draft a semi it would be way up there. My other car cant get to epa ratings old OR new unless I turn off the engine everywhere i can. I think the epa should be dropped another 5mpg for the neon.

Hmmm, recently with improving driving techniques my city has been killing my highway mileage. Drive it like a hybrid and you should get mpg's like a hybrid which typically have higher city numbers.
In between delivery's does your car stay pretty warm? Have your ever thought about a engine heater plugged in while @ work to keep everything toasty and ready to go?
