I do not go over the same route on a regular basis like a typical commuter, but work from home and just make trips as needed. I admit that I drive pretty conservatively at this point,actually adhering to the speed limit.Acceleration is usually very mild, and only once in a while will I hammer it, but even then,just up to the speed limit and that's it. If I pass someone on the highway, and the roads are wide open with little traffic, I do not beat the crap out of the car just to see how quickly I can pass, but just take my time. I'm convinced that tis car can either give you 30 MPG with a ight foot, or 15 MPG if you beat on it. It's your choice. I'm finding that driving less aggressively and sloweri s far more relaxing and ( just my personal thoughts on this) a lot safer. I had done it the other way for many years, and did not get to my destination any sooner.
