My new method for improving mileage
 

So normally when I use my car for 100% daily commuting I average about 15-16 MPG. However all this week and last I have been listening to Pimsleur's Essential read and speak german.

Since I know zero german, and I am trying to brush up prior to heading to Munich, I am quite distracted while driving... Consequently I do not red-line or drive agressivley. Now I don't know if it was a fluke or not but I got 19MPG this last tank.

:cool:

The only time I ever go over 17MPG is when I am on a road trip. I wonder if this will be repeatable?

I guess that depends on your tolerance for listening to the same crap repeatedly :)

Yeah, I'm only a little ways into the lessons, got at least another couple of months to go.

Mein Gott in Himmel. 19 miles fer flughaven. Vie gates?

Wow... my god in skies? what?

Ja, Geht das.

I can order a beer and say good day :) so far, also say I don't speak German well, only a little bit.

Try Greek for a change, I can assure you... you're gonna freak out! :D :eek: :D

Ja, mein daschund shise en mein volkswagen und I geit un RX8.

My mileage goes down when I listen to Ride of the Valkyries.

I thought that only happened with Volkswagens
