    How bad do you want to get better mileage???

    Not really. This is NY state. And don't forget there is ~ 10K real estate tax. So the mortgage is for 40K. Do you mind if I ask you if you own a house and have a family that you have to support.

    How bad do you want to get better mileage???

    For starters Tax would take 33% and mortgage on your house another $50K or more. So you left with $17K. Food, Gas, Bills, and kids. Forget vacation, maintaining the house or upgrading. Wow what about the habits? Smoking, alcohol. Holidays, birthdays? Don’t forget about a car payment and a gas...

    You do not have to coast at all to get exellent milage. Just keep your rpm below 2500. Try it for 100 miles and you will be suprised.

    Very Important! When you go slow or slower than traffick you want to stay on the right lane and only right lane. But than again you will see assholes try to cut you off anyway. Stay right!

    How bad do you want to get better mileage???

    Our cars roll very well in neutral. I can coast in neutral for a long time on a slight downhill doing 35mph and on a nice hill I will pick up a lot of speed form 50 to 70mph no problem in a very short time. Actually P5 is the best rolling car that I have ever owned. Do not forget to inflate...
