  • How Much MPG Go Up?

    How much will my mpg increase driving like Miss Daisy prepared to fun, but not too crazy? 2.73 gears I have. All stop, and go driving. Not letting the rpms ever exceed 1800 even when accelerating, always in Overdrive, speed never over 45 mph, and coasting with foot off the gas whenever possible. Prepared to normal driving with a little bit of fun which I mean hitting the gas hard once in awhile. Experimenting with this right now since gas is, so high. Just filled the tank up yesterday at 2.95 a gallon for 93 octane the cheapest gas around my town. (Some places were 50 cents more, but that was like the highest prepared to the lowest.)

    Theres no way anyone can tell you an exact amount. Every car & driver is different. But I can tell you it will be considerable. I get about 100 miles more per tank when I drive "normal" as apposed to driving "fun"

      It would be hard to tell, but I'd say maybe a couple extra miles per gallon...2 or 3.
