Go to the top of pikes peak, turn around, head down, put it in third and only let the clutch out to slow down, heck you'll probably hit 50 + mpg...

Actually, I don't know how many miles you have,but after about 3000 I was getting 26 on the highway, with no hard acceleration...

That's a thing of the past... I still get about 23 on the highway when I keep my foot out of it, which isn't often, but occasionally... Like today driving from just south of Austin to Corpus Christi...

If you can turn, you ain't going fast enough...
