very nice. how much was it when you filled up?

---

$46.00

---

I totally beat my record today

The car:
2002 Nissan Sentra 1.8

specs that influence MPG:
126hp, ~2600lbs, 4spd auto, 195/60-14 tires, didn't use A/C (it's not really hot with all the storms now), I used 87 octane from Shell.

my average usually is 28mpg lately, 30mpg if I drive conservatively, and today I filled up and averaged 36mpg[/b[ for the first time.

412 miles / 11.4 gallons

So you got 8 more MPG than my car (28mpg)... 4000lbs, 5.3L, 303hp, 4spd auto, 235/50-18 tires, A/C on and using 93 octane...

Somehow that just doesn't seem very impressive. I'll take my performance

Yeah but guess what, I can beat the living crap out of my car.. autocross it, rally it, simply keep my foot down all the time and still average about 25mpg..

Mom's Camry gets about 28 mpg.

I get x/0 mpg.  Ziing.

You'd think a thousand miles would be enough,
I guess I'll keep walking.

I don't understand why my Civic is getting less then 250 miles on a full tank of 12 gallons. I should be getting 350. =/

and never turn your car off when your at a traffic light.

Yep, I think that's a HUGE mistake..

most cars use very little fuel at idle, so if you turn it off.. ok maybe you save a little fuel there but then you waste more in starting up your car.. not to mention you wear your cranking motor.

In Sweden I believe it is they require you to turn your car off when your stopping
