Default Re: Civic Coupe/Automatic Gas Mileage

Oh, I drive in the slow lane. I am considerate/Canadian, see. I
just let the SUV-loving, I-got-places-to-go, things-to-see,
people-to-do SoCal drivers race on ahead to the left of me. Then I
smile at them when I catch up with them at the next traffic light. I
mostly keep 2500 rpm.

Well, I finally hit 30.7 mpg when I filled up yesterday. Yeah! I
didn't even to do any highway driving last week. Aiming for 32 mpg
next. I am planning to clean the PCV valve and check valve clearance
to improve mileage. Anything else I can do?
