Get ready for lines at the pumps ...

Significantly = almost double?

Which dictionary are you using?

 

I got more MPG than the car is rated to get. Tell me how often that happens in the first place. Then tell me how much more I should have gotten.

 

According to jgmacg's statistics: 3 percent of 29 mpg.

Do the math.

 

If we could convert pennies to oil, we'd never have to drill again!

 

But keeping the air and fuel filters clean/replaced, as well as changing out the spark plugs/wires can help alot too.

 

No, in the US we only nationalize the losses of investment banks and mortgage brokers.

 

If your tires have 94k on them, I'd submit that new ones might actually squeeze out a nother mpg or two. Not to mention giving you better control of your car. Just saying. Double? I don't think so.

 

Ok, I finally got around to watching the video. That was the best entertainment I've had all day.

 

I like how this thread has (d)evolved into a discussion about Tony's car.

And if you're driving with 94,000-mile tires, please send me a PM before you get on the road. Cripes man! You're driving a coffin. Hope it doesn't rain where you live.

 

Actually, I was just consulting with an engineer friend of mine who suggested that the tires are the reason I'm exceeding the car's rating for mpg.

Let me explain this again for the mathematically challenged: (just checked these numbers at fueleconomy.gov) The car is rated to get 19 mpg city, 23 mpg highway. I got 29 mpg for the last tank. Tell me again what I'm doing [blue] wrong. [/blue]

 

Cars have spark plugs? Mine has a flux capacitor.

 

You're putting lives at risk by driving on bald tires.
