Gas: changing your driving?

[honda_dude]

i always try to stay under 2500k rpm....

i find myself coasting nowadays never really driving agressive cuz gas is a pain in the rear to pay for now.

I just bitch more about the price of gas while im cruising around town for no reason. I usually keep it under 3000RPM except when I want to hear the VTEC, which Im not going to lie is quite often. Does the VTEC really open that low on the 4 bangers? I got lucky and did an oil change on a co-workers 98 Accord 5spd, and no matter what I did I coulnt hear the crossover.

you can early shift and you will hear exhaust tone changes.....thats about it...LOL

I drive faster, oddly enough.

I drive as normally as I would if gas was only $1. I try to stay slow, with slow acceleration and such, but its so hard to stay off the gas. My car love it when i punch it every once in a while. I think its because my ECU is used to my spirited driving. If I tried to conserve gas and measure my miles, i still wouldnt be able to get 350 miles to tank to save my life

Haven't changed my driving much, normal commute during the week and usually dont drive much on the weekends. I already drove like an old man.

Might have something to do w/ the car being on an incline. I've noticed on long hills, because the fuel filter/sensor is at the front of the tank, my fuel gauge changes.

As for driving habits, my mileage doesn't vary that much whether I baby it for the whole tank, or nail it a few times a day. Saving 2 or 3 mpg's on a tankful doesn't translate into huge savings, even at $3.70/gal. I say, "Punch it Martha!" When 80's Camrys came out w/ a V-6, they had a commercial w/ two old ladies. That's where that line came from, and for some reason it crosses my lips when I have to floor it and get some giddyup.

it really hasn't changed my driving at all.
as a matter of fact gas prices went up just as i had the nitrous installed, so imagine that.
the timing was bad, but either way i don't let it bother me.
i love driving, better that than drugs and alcohol.
