At 36,737 miles, my lifetime average is 16.66 mpg, but 35% of that mileage was spent towing in excess of 3,200 lb.

At 13,000 miles I just filled up and got 19.9 miles per gallon of mostly city driving. Usually I average 17 to 19 in the city.

filled up today and was happy to see another increase! up until around 25000 miles, i was only getting like 15.4-15.9 mpg, regardless of driving habits. the tank before this one got 16.4. today's calculation was 17.4! granted, i've been going no faster than 70 mph on the freeway (but traffic has forced me to go more like 60 mph) lately, inflated the tires to 35 psi, and trying like hell to keep the tach at 2500 rpm or less. i'm getting addicted to getting better mpg, i think.

This is going to sound unbelieveable but my gas mileage for the last 2 tanks just went UP. My last 2 tanks were 40% City/60% Highway which is typical for me. My mileage for this sort of driving has been right around 17.1 mpg. My last 2 tanks have been right around 18.2 mpg.

What has changed?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

A magic elixir in the tank?
40 pounds of nitrogen in the tires?
A resistor chip in the ECU?
NASA's latest polymer wax?
You've been hypermiling lately?

You stopped running the AC.

Nope. It's too hot around here right now. Good guess though.

Think totally unbelievable.
