gas mileage

did a little experiment w/ my car...

this is city driving, normally get around 20-21 mpg w/ my normal driving style(shifting at 3, 3.5k rpm when accelerating and a few times going up to red). on my last gas tank, i forced myself to shift at 2, 2.5k rmps w/ no runs to red. gas mileage improved slightly. only got 23 mpg. so much for that...no fun!!! back to my old driving style!
