Have you guys made adjustments to your driving habits, frequency, etc? I sure don't drive the Z a whole lot at the moment (not like before anyway), and I slowed down in my daily driver (98 Accord LX VTEC 2.3L) and my MPG went from 29mpg/tank (avg) to 35.8mpg. The other thing I did was I bought a moped. **insert "fat guy on a scooter joke here"** (I'm 6'7" 330lb) New, $1200 off ebay, shipped. Sure they are chinese-made (Roketa is the brand), and the INITIAL quality sucks, but having "teh interwebs" to google, I've found that changing fluids, fuel lines, and using a ton of loctite and dielectric grease, it'll be great for me. I've only put about 1000 miles on it since I bought it, but it takes 5 bucks to fill up (at $3.72/gal here in Tyler, TX) and it goes about 100 miles. (and gets me to 60mph). I'm suprised, but plan on using it a lot to get to and from work on nicer days here. Also I ride my bike (bicycle) from my house to the post office when it's nice out (when I have to ship something)... hell, it may only save like 2 bucks in fuel, but that's 2 bucks, multiplied by how many times I do it! meh, that's my rant/rave for the day.
