In one car we average about 26-27 MPG in the other car we average 35-36 MPG. Unfortunately the first car is so fun to drive we almost always take that one! (Proof? the second car is 18 months old and still doesn't have 5000 miles on it yet! I know, we're bad!)Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149777435132497067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482086120454663232.post-49761235247046248192008-07-03T15:37:00.000-05:002008-07-03T15:37:00.000-05:00Noelle: Uh oh, the road rage was something I was t...Noelle: Uh oh, the road rage was something I was trying to combat.

I go to work early in the morning (before 7) so I avoid most stop and go traffic, but in the afternoon, all bets are off. Since I am a technical writer I was able to negotiate working from home one day, which has really helped out. I also have started obeying the speed limit and not doing the rapid acceleration/barking routine. I drive an SUV (with a bad back and having had back surgery and a little toddler to lift in and out of the car, this worked best for my health) so I am super-aware of the gas cost. Lately these measures have really helped me to go longer between fill ups.jacquelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155568099007397724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482086120454663232.post-66089015492387072652008-07-02T13:50:00.000-05:002008-07-02T13:50:00.000-05:00I should really try this as well.
