I'm so cheap :oh:
Since I'm back at school now, all I really drive is to and from classes...probably 3 miles one way.
Most of the driving to school is on a 25 mph residential area, so it takes awhile. Anyway, I see myself in 5th gear with the rpms just over 1k all the way to school h: :chuckles:
On the plus side, I'm getting ~30 mpg in the city :exnbp: and I haven't filled up my tank in 3 weeks, and I still have half a tank left :irock:

most combustion engine is not the most efficient at idle or just off idle.
with the M coupe I get 26-27mph when i'm cruising at 80-85mph on the freeway. if i slow to 70-75mph the mpg stays the same or drops by 1mpg.
80-85mph ~ 3400rpm in my car
