That's what I was thinking!

unistork said:It seems that I have to re-fill my gas tank every 50 miles (from half tank) and I only put in $10 worth so it only goes to about half tank. Any tips on how to save gas?
xsnyperx said:Other than the tips already listed, I only know of a couple more. One, keep your tires inflated farily close to maximum pressure. This will create less friction with the road as more of the tire isn't hitting the pavement. Two, ALWAYS fill your gas at night. At night, the air is colder and gas is mesarued by <b>volume</b> and NOT <b>density</b>. So when you wake up the next day, the gas expands a little and, voila, you've gained about 2 extra drops of gas!
However, I don't know HOW someone could use less gas traveling at 85 than at 55 unless they had a lower RPM at 85 (6th gear maybe? or 5 long ones?) I've read that you use 4(i think) times as much gas traveling at 65 than at 55mph.
Super dave said:I think some of you are missing the concept. While higher engine speed means you are using more gas, it does not necessarily mean less gas mileage. You will definitely use more gas as rpm raises, but you are forgetting that you are traveling a greater distance. Therfore, as long as the difference in distance travelled exceeds the difference in fuel used, you are getting better gas mileage.

with 4.10 install.. it's hard to guess..
