hmmmmm, i noticed not a single gas price of $2/gallon or higher were on that page. You also get to enjoy that 93 octane. I hate the bay area.

one is save every gas receipt...when i get it, I write down the mileage and the odometer reading..
the other was to keep my pda in the car and just update the spreadsheet.. I prefer method 1 just because it means I dont leave a $1000 pda in the car... (was $1000 when new.. had the compaq 3970 with 1 gb drive and 256mb on top of blue tooth standard and 64mb ram)
sometimes I show people this just to let them understand that they will never be as psychotic as others... I get mad when my employees put a pepperoni out of place... throws off the look of the pizza...

I get over 300 miles to a full tank with driving around town and not really being careful about keeping the RPM's low. Typically I shift around 2500 RPMs to keep the noise down but on occasion I like to give friends a ride A lot of times I stop and put ~$10 in gas and can go over 150 miles before I need more.
I have kept it on cruise in 6th gear on the interstate before and had the fuel gauge just under 1/2 full with 320 miles on the tripometer. I believe a lot of people claim they too can get 30+mpg in the M6 on cruise.

On my trip to San Diego from my home (Bay Area), i averaged 26-27 mpg on the freeway with hatch full of luggage, t tops off, and windows down. I've started to shift at a higher rpm now (3k) instead of 2k and I noticed a big drop, 210 miles per tank mostly city driving. Think I'll bring it back down a little since the cheapest good (91 Shell) gas is 2.39 a gal.
