Getting 30ish MPG. Help?

You said at the beginning of the thread that you've gotten as high as 66MPG. Was that over a whole tank or one trip? What is your overall average?
I accelerate at least as fast as traffic most of the time and usually go at least the speed limit. When I drive on the highway, I at least keep up with traffic (about 65MPH around here). I floor the accelerator several times each tank. Most of the time, the only people who would get mad at my driving would get mad at anyone driving sensibly. I average 60MPG in the summer. Kind of sad that you barely beat that while having an angry parade behind you. Driving the way you do is more self centered than keeping the flow of traffic moving smoothly. Ride a bike if you care that much about the planet.

 

Unfortunately my commute consists of some very hilly roads, which is poor for my fuel economy. The average is over a whole tank though, which I don't think is too bad considering the terrain. I also notice you live in Texas so you may not be aware that in a colder climate such as what mine is a good portion of the year your fuel economy goes down. I would ride a bike to work but my job requires me to haul equipment back and forth (I am an alternative biologist doing research on some organic farms). I think the work I do offsets negative environmental impact of my driving. I do feel just awful about having a commute that causes my emissions to suffer.
