I used to feel the same way before I went to college. I was all about Big Jeeps with lifts and monster mud tires. I was getting 11mpg in my rig. Man I was numb back then. I should have bought a small car back then. O well I learned from my mistakes.

I let it down to 35 PSI on snow days. But after the snow was gone I bumped my PSI back up. I feel like the weather was the killer for me over the past few weeks. Does the weather effect your mpg's?

Also I joined a car pool so I will only be driving 4 days a week now. Which is great. The down side is I will have to but my back seats back in. My cardboard and duck-tape grill blockers rotated out due to the snow, salt, and water. I am thinking of making some tin ones. I will keep you guys updated with any modes. Later
yes.
