My car is MUCH 'peppier' today. Avg gas mileage increased (25 to 29). Excellent tip!

BTW, don't forget your FREE Papa John's pizza today!

So your travel route to work is little highway miles and mostly city miles? Just wondering how you "were" getting 25 mpg if you do not "baby" the car (accelerate slowly, limit top end speed, etc).

I only have 700 miles or so and still taking it easy on her since I am still in break in mode. The best mpg I have gotten so far is 23.5. I have about 50/50 highway/city travel. And I am really taking it easy on her, really easy!!

Will try the fuse mod as soon as I empty out this tank. I have not ran it below a quarter of a tank so there could still be some "dealership -87" in there.

Thanks!!
