Just make sure your car is in perfect tune, and don't carry much crap in it. These two things along with using a light foot will get you the best mileage possible.

What kind of mileage are you currently getting?
maybe you want to scale that speed back to legal limit............or less. this takes great discipline. you gotta remember the time in auto history these cars were built in. the nation was still at a national limit of 55.

'I CAN'T DRIVE...FIFTY FIVE!!!" means bad fuel mileage.
