Use your skateboard. Skateboard everywhere you go. Skateboard fast. You get to work quickly. Leave EVO at home and skateboard. Me? I have a 40 mile trip to skateboard to work. I get to work and then it's time to skateboard home. I'm very thin now.

I love when people say "don't boost". As if I can do that! Shift a little earlier in town, i.e. keep your revs down and run it on the tall side of the gearing rather than the short side (if that makes sense). Helps a bit in the city, where my mileage regularly sucks.

The gas milage was one of my concerns when i bought my evo. However i try to stay out of boost as often as i can. I live like 5 mins driving distance from my job. So I will be driving my beater in the winter (evo will be garaged most of the time)
Beater= 92 Honda civic HB CX No a/c (sux in the summer) $15-16 for a full tank that last a long time.
