One really easy way to save gas....

I read this thread last night just before I drove from Orange County to LA (about 40 miles) in my SC400. Just for kicks I reset my MPG gauge and drove no faster than 60 mph on the freeways. Usually I'd go around 75.
Mostly freeway driving, but I hit some traffic and also a detour that forced me onto local roads for about 4 miles. Still averaged over 29 MPG this trip.
I did the math and this saved me about half a gallon, so maybe around $2.30 or so. It would have taken about 13 minutes longer if I had gone 60/75 the whole way, but the actual difference is around 7 or 8 minutes because you can only use that extra speed on the freeway.
Whether it's worth it or not, up to you. My time isn't all that valuable on Sunday nights, when I'm spending way more than I'm making.

I average around 23-34 miles per gallon all in the city. And if anyone knows Southern California's traffic situation it's always stop and go. And this is still with me gunning it a couple of times because I love hearing the sound of my air intake.
