I didn't hear anyone complain
I understand that when people buy, they don't take into account that gas prices won't stay at 1.48/gal. When gas gets over $2.00/gal, then people start to look at ways to reduce that expense. Seems normal to me.
To the original poster: I can't find the thread that covered it in detail, but things to look at are common sense.
-nonagressive tire tread
-monitor tire pressure
-keep care well tuned
-keep drive train well lubed
-drive with a light foot
-pay attention to your gas milage (by hand, ignore the computer) and use fuels that you find give you better milage.
If you do this, depending on what you're currently doing "wrong", you can bump things up a few mpg easily.
