I'm with ya. Ever since I went from a V6 sedan to a 4-cylinder Element (read: toaster), I've really noticed the difference speed and driving style makes regarding gas consumption. I was getting horrible mileage when I first got it using my old driving style (lead foot = <16mpg). Now that I take my time and enjoy the ride, I'm getting 22+. Big difference for a little change in style.

Don't use A/C as much either unless you absolutely need it. That makes a big difference, too. 2-4 mpg in my experience
