from a old post
I did a test on my last few gas tanks to compare driving style vs gas mileage.

My first test I drove my normal lead foot style 181 miles of hilly city driving 12.6 gallons for 14.3 mpg

The next tank I drove like a old lady, coasting down hills, slow acceleration etc. 165 miles 10.2 gallons for 16.1 mpg.

I figure this is pretty good considering the city milage for a new truck is rated at 17mpg from
