First time
I have successfully driven the Cougar for 1 week with out filling up. I kept it under 3200rpm all week, drove only to work, and accepted rides from friends. It feels good, it's almost as addicting as wasting money and gas. I'm proud of me.

Re: First time
yeah, but staying under 3200RPM is just no fun at all.

Re: First time
Every once in awhile I try to get the mpg readout as low as possible, as soon as I am happywith my results I go back to driving normally.

Re: First time
You mean high? lol. I've had an average of 12 before, but I've also done 32mpg. The 32mpg tank lasted 1.5 weeks, and the 12mpg lasted 2 days.

I've also been unemployed (full time, I still have a 20hr/week job) so that saves gas, and I got my GTI running, so the Cougar's been sitting for 2 days.

Re: First time
I'll reset my MPG when I leave for fest. I should be at about 29 MPG when I arrive. depending on how much city driving I do to get to the hotel.
