More MPG with Shell???

[Whiteyprius]

If you're a comfort hound as I am, you'll set the A/C for COMFORT and let the mpg's fall where they may. This is not to say that I don't care. On the fuel economy forum, I posted some observations yesterday (See "Eight 250 trips this summer"). I'm convinced that the temperature has as much effect as anything on mpg's. On these "Eight trips..." it became pretty evident that when I was driving mid-day, and the temps were mid 90's, my mpg's were about 10% lower than my evening miles, and the temps were in the low 80's. You have to get way scientific to isolate a single contributing factor. But legislation requiring monitoring systems on all new cars (i.e. MFD type device), I think would go far in saving the nation's resources. (How'd I get off on that!?!) In saving gas, as in many of the issues of life, education is the key. The WILL of driving Americans must be changed. (I found the above mentioned legislation suggestion on drive55.org.) The very name of that organization is a great way for ANYONE to use less gas. & save lives too
