I've been hearing a lot about oil and riding style, but I almost always get 29.9 mpg. The only time it goes up is freeway riding under cruise control. I used to get 33 mpg using the same techniques.
I use castrol without friction modifiers and a purolator long filter. After reading a recent post here I wonder if I'm not losing MPG because of the oil. I hear most of you say that oil affects shifting, but mine shifts pretty smoothly. I average 80 mph on the freeway and I do like to 'get on it' occasionally, but I did that before.
Before anyone suggests it, I have started it cold recently without touching the throttle until the fan kicked in. No change. I do have the original crush washer.
Oh yeah, I have 14k on the clock.
