Thanks a lot for commenting. That Scangauge has definitely paid for itself. I bought it on sale for something like $65 with a group pricing off a forum that I hang out in regularly. It's made me totally aware of when I use the most gas and I've gotten much better at driving more economically. I've heard that the A/C in modern cars doesn't really affect the gas mileage. I browsed the internet but I couldn't find anything conclusive so I just left it out of the post all together. That’s a great tip. Thanks a lot for commenting.

I also drive a truck (a V6 Ridgeline) and usually just get 18mpg. Last week's fill was only 12mpg after picking it up from the dealer. So, one other tip is to ask the dealer not to leave the truck running with the A/C blasting at 60 degrees when it's 35 degrees outside for no reason. "Jackrabbit" starting, or gassing hard at a green light, is definitely a major gas killer. People would be amazed if they saw how much gas they used, and others just wouldn't care. I notice when I'm in my wife's MINI (it has a gas usage meter), but I tend to forget in my truck which doesn't have one. I'm too cheap to buy the Scangauge though, unless it was under $50. Good tips.
