the only good thing about high gas prices...
long time no post...i've actually learned how to control my foot. i've gone from averaging 235-245 miles on a tank to 280-290. It sucks, but all i had to do was change a few habits
1) less 6000 rpm+ time
2) top down less
3) slower cruising, 69 mph on freeway instead of my usual 74.
i really going to try and make a game out of this and see if i can break the 300 mark, i know there have been some people that have...

280 a tank? I call 
I never get past 240 a tank. My average is only 200-220 a tank and that's with no VTEC at all. I could only imagine 260 a tank

We have done it coming back from the Vegas trip Vinnie. I actually got 280 and maybe more with the TOPDOWN driving an average of 90mph. 
too 
Surprised the hell out of me because the light stays on for a while and then I gas up at 240.

I easily get 250-260 every tank with minimal gas light on driving. Have been tempted to continue on, but not sure where it will run out so I dont push it.
On the other side of the coin, canyon driving nets me approx 200 for the tank

Oh so that's what our tanks max out around huh? I usually fill up when I reach half tank to keep the cost down. With pumping 91 at half tank, it's costing me about $28-30.
