whats the advantage of documenting your gas mileage? if anything serious comes up, you'll notice it anyway. if i gets lower gas mileage, its probably cause i drove like a moron. i did it a couple times when the car was new to see what the car was about but now its worthless info to me.

if its budgeting your concerned about, then by all means do your documentation. but in the end, you have to drive your car and you know that slowing down will yield better gas mileage.

Before I swapped in my 4:10 rear and computer tune, I was getting up to 27mpg highway with the Camaro. Im thinking about swapping in the old rear again now....

not beating the poop out of a car usually yields better gas mileage... or at least with my cars

I fill up at the same station, same pump about 95% of the time, and they don't top it off at all. I've gotten very consistent results that way.

Cheap 24hr Sunoco station just down Rt. 1 from where I work, so stopping on my way home just after midnight usually means that I can always pull up to the same pump.
