im lucky to get that. i think its because i mainly drive to school and back, but thats only about 2 miles round trip, so my engine never gets warm. i feel like thats the reason my milage is soo bad. anyone agree?

When I lived a mile from work, I'd just take the long way home to warm up the engine completely. You don't necessarily have to do this everyday, but you should do it often, especially if you live in a high humidity area.

really?? I am in the same boat as him. It takes me at most 4 minutes to get to school since its only like 2 miles away. Would driving it hard after it warms up help anything? or maybe I should start taking the long way?

it was a two way 150 mile trip on the interstate, the i did a little city driving after it and pumped out 360 as a total. Yes i did drive like a grandma for those two days. Its just to show you can get good MPG when you NEED IT and you can also have power when you WANT IT
