After a bit of trouble in the beginning with the IACV which has since been replaced, I finished off a tank of gas clocking in at 37.1MPG on the Del Sol. The little 1.6L engine has a bit of trouble keeping up with my previous driving style, thus instead of 5th I use 4th gear way more than I should. For the last couple of weeks I have been making a concerted effort to use 5th gear and take a slower approach to work and back. This had made for an uneventful (aka safer), yet more economical driving experience. I may get in the habbit of this from now on ;)
Im guessing I can push the boundary still by leaving the roof on the car during my commutes, but I am still too attached to feeling the wind and glancing at the sky. Maybe this winter I will best my record.
