Default Re: '06 Civic Mileage

Third tank and I got an honest 37.2 with over 1000 miles on the clock.
It is tough to get EXACTALLY the same amount of fuel in each time and a
VERY small amount, like a quart either way makes a huge differance. I
have to run the same route each day (120 mi) and make it a point to
fill at the same pump at the same station when making my fuel run
calculations. Again, running between 75-80, sometimes kicking it the
ass up to 90 to get around a truck, but coming right back down. One
grade to climb going out but that is one long down hill coming back. NO
HARD STARTS and trying to coast down and not slam on the brakes to a
stop when possible. Remember, hard stops make heat and the heat doesn't
come from the energy fairy (read more gas!!). At $2.55 a gal here in
Las Vegas and 120 miles a day, I am REALLY trying to stretch the fuel
as far as possible...
