since gas has topped 4 dollars a gallon and since I totally took over my gas and insurance bill from my parents, I've really changed my driving habits. I thought people were crazy when they said that they would get 28+ mpg from their 3400's but I realize that its all in how you drive. I've decided that i needed to change and for the past 3 fillups, i've gotten 28.2 mpg, 27.9 mpg, and 28.7 mpg which is awesome. I do a mix of highway and city driving and if I were to do 100% highway driving, I am convinced that I could break 30 mpg. Before I changed and when school was in, I drove like a psycho to get home, i was usually getting 21 to 22 mpg and one time I managed to get 16 mpg. Its really making my life easier when i only have to fill up once a week.

has anybody else been changing their driving habits because of the gas crunch?
