Just found this site but am looking forward to spending some quality time here learning. I recently changed my driving habits. I own a 2003 Acura 3.2CL 6-speed and was averaging a city MPG of 23 (EPA site says 17 so not bad I guess).
However after a simple modification of "over inflating" my tires from the recommended 35lbs to 38lbs, and modifying my driving to add coasting whenever and as often as possible with smoother starts and stops, no A/C (windows down), etc ... I am now averaging 28.9MPG ... that's a 23% increase in MPG.
My commute is 10 miles each way, along one of the busiest streets in Memphis with a traffic light every 100 yards or so
I'm thinking of going to 40lbs on my tires (they have a max rating of 44 on the sidewall) any thoughts on this?
FWIW,
Jay
