Welp i go thru a tank in 300 miles myself which means i fill up with a new
tank every week! (30 bucks a pop!) So i decided to try to use this grandpa
technique to help my wallet out. My god was it hard! I mean the shifting
before 2k is easy it just when i run out of gears and i have to keep below
55mph, my god i wanted to scream stomp the gas and go flying down the road
at my normal 85-100 mph. It's going to be tough todo but i'll keep trying to
stick to the gas saver plan!
