My last 3 fills

Since I've installed the SG2, my last 3 fills have been at least 20mpg. I know this isn't a lot, but if you look at my prior fills, my mpg ranged from 15-19. It probaly won't get much better than this, due to my 4 mile one way drive to wrok. I'm tempted to try EOC, but with an Auto tranny, I could end up walking. Any suggestions?

My suggestion would be to enjoy your 25% improvement and your short commute to work. :-)

With only going 4 miles per trip it hardly gets good and warmed up.. From your garage it looks like you have done the basic stuff already. About the only thing you could do better is ride a bike or scooter.

popimp,

Go on more road trips where you can sustain highway speeds? That's what I'm doing by trying to take more highway routes instead of street routes.
