Driving for gas mileage
I get about 38 mpg when I drive nice and conservative, which is mostly all the time now. I romp on it every once in a while, but with 108 hp, even romping on it still doesn't use much gas, haha.

My Firebird shows a HUGE difference depending on how I drive it. Nailing it to pass some fucker, or to make some light, or to get out before the traffic hits, or because I'm just bored, and swinging it around corners with my foot in the throttle to keep some kind of positive steering eat up gas like there's no tomorrow, but when I drive really easy (with the car shifting at ~2500) I don't even have to clock my mileage to see the difference. Guess it depends on how the car is setup?
Goddammit, I'm Vip18971, I hate my work computers and how peopel always stay logged into them, and I'm tired of clearing the cookies to log myself in only to have them log back in, so fuck it.

Yeah that driving nice thing...that ended with that last tank of gas.
Windows down, radio up, flying past everyone trying to save on gas. I may cut back on the amount of needless waste (anytime I smell gas, I probably need to let up) but for the most part, I think it'll be back to normal. I can cut $5 a week somewhere else.

. I ocassionly do spirited driving, but not much. I haven't gotten any tickets ever and don't plan on getting one. I once got like 160miles on a 12 gallon tank. Remember that it is a freaking 4 cyclinder. So now I get like 240 on a tank so approximately 20mpg. Not too bad, but nothing special.

33mpg, with 80 miles hwy and 60 miles in city, Daily. this is putting my foot in it, I don't shift till 4k (it's not vtec or else it'd be 8k), but I do use neutral to coast to the light, and I take the corners smoothly. I drove like a grandma on my last tank and got 38mpg with the standard routine of 140 miles a day. not bad for a 93 civic hatch.
