I want 42... I can't break 40 (39.86). I only have like 1,200 miles on my car though, so hopefully it'll go up as many have said it does before.

I use it all the time. There is this awesome hill that I use to get home from classes. I can coast for about 1.3 miles. I also coast to stops signs, lights, etc. I don't idle at all, at most about 30 seconds in the morning to warm up the engine a lil. I turn off my car the second I get to where I am going. I don't speed, I drive 55mph on the highways. I don't rev my engine hard, I never go above 2K (probably more like 1.5K max) but I don't have a tach to verify.

I can't think of anything else to do, lol. I want to break 40 so bad! hahaha

Try different brands of gas. I get 3-4 mpg more with GUlF than Valero...
