Driving habits affect mpg the most, hands down. You cant get good mpg if youre on the gas a lot.



Actually, not really.  I've had some of my best fuel mileage runs happen even after several runs at the track.  I normally get 22-24mpg with a mix city/hwy, but 100% hwy, I've gotten 33mph.

Yeah, but I'm talkin about all that on the same tank of gas.  As in...drive to school and work all week (maybe a couple of stomps on the pedal in between), go to the track, then tank up and see mileage.  Funny thing, sometimes I'd try to stay off the gas all week and I'd get worse mileage than I did when I was messin around and running at the track.
