I went from a max of about 30MPG (before coming here) to 36.46MPG using some EOC, drafting and just driving slower overall and that was without a scangauge. My SGII just got delivered today so my goal of 40MPG should be pretty easy. I just did some maintenance stuff as well including replacing a clogged PCV valve which is known to be a mileage killer as well as replacing plug wires, cap and rotor, fuel filter and upping my tires to 50PSI from the 42 I had them at before. I also picked up some garden edging black plastic stuff I want to try to fashion into some sort of grill block and air dam. Thanks EcoModder!
