How to get better fuel milage?

it is NOT recommended or condoned to turn off the engine. you lose power steering and brakes and you'll want both of those in an emergency. :thumbsup:

 

Well, in all seriousness, and on a slightly related note, some people actually shut their engine off while they're at a red light, to save gas. Once, some lady in front of me did this... when the light turned green, her car wouldn't start up again. It was a lot of fun for the dozen cars behind her. At least she was being enviornmentally conscious  :clapping:.

 

By the way, I have a 2.5L AX5 with 33's and I'm getting about 17 MPG in the city. I would imagine I'd do better if I actually gave her a tune up :idea: .
