drive_fast_dail has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Saw some bad ones, but dont know if anyone else is as bas as me with a manual. Anyways

-Mileage
Hit the big 50k recently

-what vehicle is it? (include year, make, model, auto/manual?)
2002 Ex coupe manual

-what grade gasoline? (IE: 87 reg, 89 plus, etc)
87 Reg

-how are your driving habits? (granny, tracking, fairly hard, highway, city, include details)
Absolutely terrible, shift at 6k + whenever theres room, highways try to go 75, but I always end up going 85-90 or more when its empty. Oh, yeah I drive fast daily ^, I just cant help myself

-what are your mods (only state the mods that could affect mileage IE: intake, exhaust, wheels, etc)
just wheels and 215 tires

-what grade motor oil was used when this record of mileage was counted? (IE: 5w-20/5w-30/etc)
run the stock 5w-20

-tips/advice on how to save gas or anything else that is neccesary!
I do just put it out of gear and coast when I know im going to stop soon anyways

all that and ive been getting 28-29 mpg recently. Im fairly impressed for the way I drive, but still I wish there were a wider 6th gear for highway that would help me out a bunch.

1. Lubecontrol engine oil & fuel additive! This stuff works really well!
2. Avoid full throttle starts. Ease on the gas, try not to get past 4k rpms on average. Don't redline.
3. Wait until the gas light comes on to fill up, and then fill up to 5 gallons.
4. No air conditioning.
5. Check tire pressure.
