I hope you all can help me out with this problem.
After I got my GTO, I drove it around town quite a bit, but still had some open road time on her where I didn the proper break-in. During this time, it seemed like I averaged around 18 MPG or so. Then, things went wrong...I started reading some threads around here about gas mileage, and something happened. Before long, I was setting the cruise control, turning on the stereo, staying out on the open road, and getting around 23! My God!!!!
Luckily, I snapped out of it and have done the following to help lower the MPG to a respectable level.
Any other suggestions on how to reduce that mileage? I'm thinking one of these should help:

Luckily, I snapped out of it and have done the following to help lower the MPG to a respectable level.
- I drive through town when I don't have to
- I drive through parking lots and other places where people gather when I don't have to
- I rarely drive in 6th anymore - 5th sounds much better
- When in 5th, I slow down a bit, then punch the throttle when approaching another muscle car or any car that has its windows rolled down
Any other suggestions on how to reduce that mileage? I'm thinking one of these should help:
