RE: have you changed your driving habits since the spike in gas prices?
I have temporarily for an environmental science class. Went from driving 75-80mph on the highway to 55-60mph. But even if I happened to get better mpg I am still cool with 32mpg going mach 1 and enjoying it.
eventually I plan to run 50/50 SVO too

I still drive the same speeds. But I dont go out as much for stupid things such as bread and milk. If I have to go out I will get everything I need so I only have to make one trip.

Same here...I drive at the same speeds as before...if I'm in a rush I would drive quite fast and vice versa...
I'm terrible I have to admit, I don't think much about the environment as I see the governments using it as an excuse to tax more on motorists

ive actually been takin it easy, ive gotten a few speeding tickets, so im just a little more kick back for now until im able to afford them haha.
my gas mileage is okay i guess
i only wish i can run SVO on my car, one of my employees drives a 1987 volvo deisel and hes got the SVO kit on there, he steals oil from In n out burger place and it saves him pretty good money i guess

im gonna confess finally, i traded my 95 C220 for a 96 318 ... stick ... and i gotta say i like it, and it saves me 3 days worth of gas
( i measure my gas consumption by how many times i have to fill up during a two week period since i drive pretty much the same distance every week )

Test results
75-80mph: ~30-32 average mpg
Tire pressure kept at spec
constant 60mph ~35-36 average mpg
55-60mph ~36-37 average mpg
After everything was done during the test gas mileage improved 8.65% over the course of several weeks

i have to say, i do look at my speedo more an slow down while im in town, but i drive almost 500 miles every weekend back to my home town an on the long trips you can see a increase in mpg when you stay closer to speed limits, it still doesnt keep my foot out of it all the time though
