so, i was just on a random thread and people were talking about mpg and their mileage blows my mind.

so usually i drive 50city/50hwy and i typically get 24mpg. when it's mostly highway i get like 27.5mpg. i shift at 3300rpm, i rarely ever break 4000rpm, i pretty much drive chill. but all those other guys said they get 29-32mpg while occasionally hitting :vtec:

anybody else get that kind of ridiculous mileage? (AND HOW?)

i treat my baby the best, 91 octane at 76....(its around 5.15/gal) to come to think of it, i only get around 20mpg. I haven't really calculated the true value, being that i gas up everytime i have 4 bars left. when i drove from here to Sactown and back, i found out using cruise control gets you almost 400 per tank...but that was mostly on arco gas.
