We've had a cool summer, maybe 7 days total with temps in the mid 90's, so very little A/C with the car. Weekends are killing my MPG's (average maybe 55 MFD on the weekends, and then have to make it up on my daily commutes).

[Copied over from duplicate thread]

I will not post all details, but simply 2 pics of fuel consumption I managed to do last week.

The shorter trip (Image0548.jpg) is on my commute route (way back trip) on normal traffic (it was on a Saturday, but traffic was just as bad as any other day...)
I simply stayed really focused on making the trip smooth, brake as little as possible, and A/C was off (I kept the windows a bit open for some nice wind), external temp was maybe 29C, listening to music and tires at 2.7/2.6bar (front/back).

The other longer one (Image0549.jpg) was later that day, similar conditions.

I don't think I will ever manage anything better than this...!

Nice! considering the, I suppose, constant use of A/C and traffic jams (i.e. average speed not very high)

2011 July, I got 70.0 mpg Calc'd at the pump.
I was working to go over 700 miles on one tank
but gas prices were trending upward after
Hurricane Irene - so I bought gas earlier than
I had initially planned for....
