Hi Moocatdog:
___Every time I hear this lately, I ask the individual what his or her last tank mpg in whatever he or she was driving is? After maybe 20 of these questions in the last 2 months, I havent received even 1 exacting response other then its about 23 or about 16 or I receive about EPA estimates. People can scream about fuel prices but since most dont even know what there automobiles are receiving or capable of, how can you help them improve without a wholesale change out of their particular automobile?
___With that, imagine if the lady you spoke with in the Jaguar owned a 2004 XJ8 with an EPA City/Hwy estimate of 18/28. I cant believe it but is actually quite clean when I looked it up. Let us imagine she received 17 mpg on that tank in combined Hwy and City driving. You can do the math for her at the pump if she or the XJ resets the tank trip distance at each fill. Now you can mention how she could probably improve her fuel economy by 20 - 40% over and above what she is currently receiving with just a 30 second explanation of some of the tips and tricks some of us use.
___Who knows, after 75,000 Hybrid drivers help teach the rest of the millions driving today what is and isnt possible, maybe, just maybe we will all live in a better place
___Wishful thinking, isnt it
___Good Luck
