For my 36 and 37 mpg tanks I was accelerating as slow as possible, for this tank I am getting up to speed more rapidly and thinking it might actually be better to do this. The longer it takes me to get up to speed, the more effort the engine is putting in at low rpms trying to get there. The faster I get to 5'th with out going wide open throttle, the less gas I'm hoping to spend because I'll be at cruising speed at a relatively low rpm sooner.

It makes sense, so I'm hoping it pans out. Maybe I'll go to a 1 gallon fill up to see how it goes? BRB!

Back!... Wow.. uhh I don't know what to say!

I went 55 miles this morning, and I just topped it off.. 1.280 gallons @ 55.2 miles...

43.125 mpg accelerating using 65-70% throttle. Coasting down hills, and 1 turn-off for about 1 mile this morning.

for me as it turns out, using 70% to accel, has resulted in a significant mpg increase apparently.
