On the interstate, I was hitting upwards of 80 mph at about 3500 rpms. I don't draft because it scares that s%^& out of me. I can see the corridor effect doing some, but that much??? I still haven't refueled. Currently the car is in the air awaiting a rebuilt transmission. I'll post in the fuel log after I refill.
As for my short drives, its about a 10-15 minute drive of about 6 or 7 miles. With the heat down here, the car warms up fast. I keep the rpms below 2500 all times, and coast frequently (engine on). There is one light that is always red when I hit it, but its a quick one and not worth shutting my engine off. I'm quite careful of the throttle position and dumping unneeded gas into the engine.
As I try to answer my own question, I keep thinking "buy a scangauge" (I also read it a lot) but I can't afford the cost on top of everything else right now. I suppose that would lend to better understanding of whats going on under different circumstances.
