Maybe its the wheels...

By the way, I've been watching all the episodes of the original BSG TV series at work on my iPad. Gotta love it.

All city? Lots of stop and go driving?

I just filled up a few hours ago and got 38.1 MPG calculated (40.3 displayed). Of my latest nine fill ups, only one was below 37 MPG. That was a very rainy week... Which seems to lower my MPGs no matter what I do.

My commute is mostly highway, but I have been driving a little faster than normal. I have seen speeds of 80+ MPH on certain stretches of the commute. Most of it is 55-60 MPH, though.

I'm going to try to take it easy on this tank and see if I can break 40 MPG for real.

I actually get a little better mileage now with these Katana wheels than when I had the stock wheels on...

Cool, I liked the original Battlestar Galactica series too, I was in high school when it aired on TV in the late 1970's, so I watched it pretty faithfully... but it still can't hold a candle to the new series!

Unfortunately, I have yet to break open my Bluray box set of the new BSG series I bought over 4 months ago; I've seen it in it's entirety on TV, and twice on DVD already... I'm waiting to find someone to watch it with me in The Frey Theater - check this thread out, McBrew:

Now THAT's the way to watch a bluray Scifi TV Series!



Lol, sorry for the thread-jack!

Yep I would say around 90% city driving.

I don't really do anything to help save on mpg's. I drive like a bat out of hell and never park to go inside for fast food.
