well i might try that Neutral at a red light thing if it's better on the engine and tranny. other than that i drove 55-60 to work and i the gas thingy still went down. the needle is a horrible indicator. Are there any aftermarket fuel gauges i can install? or anything like that? :[

btw do our cars run lean when our gas is in the RED RED RED LIGHT OF DEATH is on? cuz it feels like my throttle response is different. either that or i can feel my pedal again cuz i'm not babying it

when i was your age, gas was about $1.25- $1.50 and that was expensive too, cuz i was making $3 an hour part time.
When I started driving it was that price and I was making right around 5 bucks an hour part time. Yeah, this was 10 years ago.
LOL im talking 20 years ago.

Indeed, I found myself doing most of these already and using more of them on long trips with my gas guzzler which has helped a lot.
