Crazy.
I think i could have gotten more, but I didn't want to get stuck on the highway. there was more in the tank.
a filled up with 12.2 gallons after that.

5 speed
1.8 liter
proper tire inflation (15 inch tires)
mostly high way miles.
shift low.
no jack rabbit acceleration. WOT only getting onto highway.
roll to stop light in gear.
avg speed 50-55
93 octane gas.

With gas prices rising, I thought I would try harder to get more out of the car. Im going to try to replicate it again.
I was getting 440-470 before so it is a good improvement.

What I did to get the extra mileage was really a change in driving habits.
I don't hyper mile, because some of those things seem inherently dangerous (over inflation of tires etc)
just trying to help out if some of you are having a crunch these days, every bit counts. thumbsup.gif
