Why are you buying premium?

I've noticed that I get better gas mileage in my car with premium. It's an extra $2.00 that makes me happy inside.

i paid 3.69 first week of march, ive been getting 21 mpg on a 4cyl. pretty shitty but i drive 2.2 miles to work, 2.2 back to home. and thats pretty much it.

50mpg would be nice, just sayin

I want a solar powered vehicle.  Alternatively, I would like a vehicle that runs off of the positive energy that I emit on a daily basis.

Fairy..sorry, terrets...if that were the case, most of us would get 3mpg

MPG doesn't really matter cost per gallon CPG is actually the better number to look at.

Man, how are you guys getting such good gas mileage? I've got about 1000 miles logged in my GPS so far, and it's showing 24.6mpg. Usually I notice that the GPS is 1mpg less than what it really is. I don't think I've ever gone over 30mpg on my car.

a lot of coasting!

I used to get about 34mpg on straight hwy doing 70 in my 4 banger. Around town in both I4 Accords I got 23, even the TSX and S2k got 23 lol. V6 Accord gets close to 22 around town.

I get like 19-20 around town and close to 30 highway.

You know what, it could be the fact that when I'm on my 80 mile drives from UCF to home, traffic will randomly go from about 70 to 10 about 10-20 times.

Staying out of Vtec helps a shit ton also.

I've modified my driving habits.  I filled up on Monday night and it was $3.85 for premium out here.  I don't drive my car that much any more.  I basically drive it on weekends and maybe 2 or 3 nights during the week going somewhere local.

I changed  the way i drive too i take all down hills in my route and most my driving is at night with almost no traffic so that helps alot to boost my mpg up
