Thanks for the info IamIan. It seems like my little hatchback is not very aerodynamic and I can definitely feel the resistance at higher speeds. I seem to do best around 35 MPH with this car but I'll look into engine efficiency.

I've just been looking at instant MPG and then seeing what the results are when I fuel up. I will try setting short trip MPG on my Ultragauge. Thanks for the tip Charlie!
