It's a little anal, IMO.

"fill your car up to ¾ full"
You'll be going to the gas station more often.

that article is crap. I shift at 3g going into second and 3rd, 2g going into 4th and 5th. Aparantly I'm loosing gas mileage? I'm about to start a thread on my gas mileage so I'll let you guys judge just how much gas i'm dumping into the engine by shifting too low.

Also, They are completely false on estimating that you need to take off 30% of the EPA gas number because their always false. Some of it is true but i think that person probably had to write a paper for college and had to add a bunch of BS to get the amount of pages they needed.
