First, take all those dead hookers out of the trunk... weight = worse gas mileage.

Bad BOY, Kev! BADDD BOY!

What Kev MEANT to say was that the CAI should actually improve mileage--as long as you don't drive like a "ho on the way to the next trick". (did I really say that!? )

As to the other stuff? to Dean's remark on tire pressure. Otherwise, my dear, you drive an "S" (?) , well, you DRIVE an "S"! What the hell did you buy it for ? To save gas with? Get over your bad self and let your bad self make a few peeps jealous.

(coasting downhill...might as well take the plunge and slip it in neutral and coast!)

One thing NOT mentioned. the cruise really isn't too bad in conserving gas.
