Damn, is that a real blata? If I knew I could wake up early enough every morning I would ride a bicycle to work.

Im saving by keeping the rpm's under 2k. Man I can just hear the car begging for more throttle. :)

Don't run that low rpm, you're just going to carbon up the combustion chambers. Just use very light throttle and shift around 3000. Fuel mileage won't be too much different. :thumbsup: Remember to run it hard once in a while to "burn the carbon out of the cylinders" :burnout:

I did a bunch of experimenting with my old 99, and the best mileage I got was shifting around 3k and cruising in the low 2000's. I usually got around 19 mpg in mixed driving. The 03 gets 22 mpg on the highway, but it's a pretty consistent 13 mpg in town even if I baby it. :(
