If you don't depress the velocity module to it's furthest range, your mileage will drastically improve.

I love watching the MPG when I drive up to Roebling for a track event. Reset it leaving the house, average is something like 24-ish, reset before a 30 minute session, average is like 2.2

The cars just don't get great mileage if it is heavy stop and go traffic. But, that's a small price to pay for the pleasure.

If you are going to drive around in first and second gear, you are going to get very poor mileage.. 5th and sixth gears are over drive gears.
keeping the car in the 3000 to 4000 rpm range might feel good, but it eats fuel at four times the rate of normal gear selection.

I usually get about 5.4 mpg over a 40 minute SCCA race... and most tracks are 3rd-5th gear! Making it worse, I use 104 octane unleaded race fuel which costs about $4.75 a gallon. Ouch!
