do you guys use the fuel economy meter?
if you do, do you think it affects the way you drive and affect your gas mileage?

i think we should start to transition this thread to speak to how low the mpg can go...not how high... if anyone on the site is looking at gas mileage, thats f'n crazy my friends......but on a side note, that dude above that got 10-11. you are my hero. im gonna try my best to get down that low. good job!!!

The only reason my gas mileage goes down is road rage
