TDICup902
Ready to race!
PS: To everyone who drives around in a prius/honda civic hybrid (I know that your not on this forum, but ...) on the highway at 85-90 mph every day in a giant cloud of smug. Then sues the manufacture that it does not meet the epa averages fuel economy instead of going after the independent organization that rates fuel economy (epa) to change there testing practices. You should be locked up in a mental institution, or come to your senses and buy a VW golf TDI. You will get good gas mileage even at 85 mph.
Now really.

I am super cereal guys and BTW watch out for man/bear/pig
I find it funny when I hear people complaining about high gas prices, but then when I'm on the highway I see everyone passing me like crazy! I usually keep a steady speed of 65-70mph cause that's a good speed for my TDI to still average 40+mpgs and get anywhere in a timely manner.
The best thing in regards to all of the things mentioned is simply being aware of how you're driving. Paying attention to all the little things.
Other things I know that help are Low Rolling Resistance tires and also getting smaller lighter wheels. As much as I love the look of my stock 18s I'd rather get some 17s to save a couple of pounds per corner. My winters alone save me 5 pounds per corner and it helps.
Happy Motoring
