If you keep it below like 4k, you will get that mileage. I found that out from experimenting on the roads. When I would drive "normally" keeping it at 5k+ I was only getting 180 - 200 per tank. Do this little trick and it’s going to sound nuts but it works...
When in first, shift at about 3750, same for second and third. By this time you should be doing about 45mph. At that speed and gear you can totally bypass 4 & 5th gears and go right into 6. Your rpm will hit about 2k but you will still be going and you will get more mileage. That’s basically what an automatic car does to save gas. If you get a chance to, find someone with an automatic car that tells what gear you’re in and watch how it shifts. Under normal conditions it will go from 3rd right to 6th gear. This works for me when it comes to saving gas.
Give it a shot and let us know the results.

Mike here, shane invited me out there. I'll see what I can do about coming out there, its a decent drive just for one day, but not terrible. I think the harder part is convincing the GF to come with me. (I've been neglecting her lately [not on purpose] and I may need an entire weekend devoted to her to get back on her good side!) We'll see how it goes.

I'm on my way with the buttering!!! I took her to the mall today to victoria secrets (her favorite store) and took her to a movie (Taladaga Nights [which was extreamly funny]) (isn't it fun to add intricate details this way?[or even more intricate details like this?]) lol. Yeah, working on it. I'm gunna try back massages next. then maybe other massages after that! Thank you for all of the ideas to help with my ladyfriend!
On a nother note, I just got my car tinted today. I never thought this car could get sexier. Well It Did. I got 5 percent on the back and the rear sides and 15 percent on the front sides. It is quite sexy! I'll keep you guys updated on me coming over this weekend.
