Experiment
Very loose controls, essentially just a localized thing.I am testing the difference that moderately aggressive driving has on gas mileage.
For this past tank of gasoline in my 1995 Grand Prix, I have been driving the way that I used to in High School, above the speed limit, accelerating quickly.
I went 322 miles on 13.5 gallons.
That gives me 23.85 Miles to the gallon.
Not bad, certainly better than I had expected for that car.
The next couple of weeks, I am going to drive like a catatonic old lady, similar to the way I have been in 2008.
Stay tuned for the new numbers!
