Re: Impoving MPG
Don't mash on the pedals with so much gusto. Roll on to and off of the gas,
coast to the lights - especially the red ones - and anticipate the traffic
in front of you, coasting when it slows.
By coasting, I mean to lift your foot off of the gas, not depress the clutch
or shift into N.

Dunno about the 4-banger but I've discovered an easy way to boost the
TJ 6 cylinder mileage by 3-5 miles per gallon --> don't drive over
60mph on the highway! It means gettin' honked at a lot and spending all
day in the right lane, though. If there's a big headwind, settle in
behind a semi or RV that's doin' 50-55mph and have them act as a
windbreak.
