I know all that stuff needs to be fixed before I will get good FE, but I know I could get better than what I'm getting, even with all that stuff wrong. Unfortunately, the time that those things get fixed is up to my dad, because he is the one that works at a dealership and can get it all done for real cheap. The problem is the dealership is 30 minutes away and I have school everyday, so it's difficult to find a time when the dealer has an opening and I have time to drive down there.
As for my driving situation. It is pretty much a mix, but there are a lot of short trips I have to make. My street is "rural" and the surrounding areas are small towns, but at the end of my street is a huge shopping district so traffic isn't the greatest, and most things I need from the store are too far to walk to, but close enough that the car doesn't get fully heated up before I get there. I also go to a University that has a huge traffic problem... the roads on campus were not planned very well, and there is basically no way to avoid sitting in traffic, and it is impossible to find a parking spot immediately, so there is quite a bit of idling up and down aisles waiting for a spot to open up.
And believe me, I want to get a scangauge but it is just too much money. I have a lead on a job that pays 9.00/hr though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I also have a plan with Oval_Overload about getting a MPGuino possibly.
