With no obvious signs, what raised your MPG?

I had to come back to this thread to say that I gave this^ an honest effort. 4 weeks of waking up on time, enjoying my coffee in the slow lane and observing the insanity. The work truck gained about 1.5 mpg. The post arrival at work didn't change though. If only I could apply the philosophy of "you're still a dumb fuck and even though you cause me an extreme amount of extra effort for you to get your shit done, there's still a nice grandma out there that thinks you're a genius". That may require prescription help. After work has never been a problem as I generally leave work and the drive home in the truck. The slow lane approach home has helped me find quite a few different bands that I probably never would have found. I get in the truck, let the Amazon spies work thier algorithm and drive home.

So really, your advise turned out to be more of a musician tryout. I'd call that a win!

 

All this talk about going slow must not have made it to any of the states from here to Montana and most every state I've driven in. Except Nebraska, the only race cars on the roads were out of state.

On the mpg side best thing I did was fix an exhaust leak before and after
the cats. There were no usual signs except for a tick I thought was coming from the engine. But it showed with the air and soapy water. Mpgs jumped a couple.

 

doesn't matter how fast i drive, there's always a few jerks tailgating me everywhere i go. getting pretty sick of it.

 

This is my game.




It doesnt peel them off as fast as braking, but there's a lot less rage.

 

Always toyed with the idea of rigging up some LEDs in the rear with a flash switch on my dash.

 

Moved out the metro area. have a 20.3 mile one way commute that has 3 stoplights/signs. few to no hills. set the cruise control between 55 to 60 mph and get the best gas: 24.2 to 25MPG. anything above 65mph or below 50 mph waste gas.....man I sound like a dweeb of a nerd or a old man geek.... i'll show my self to the door now
