Driving more gently seems to be working

I’ve owned a 2007 VW Passat for the last 10 months that typically gets anywhere from 350-370 miles on a tank of gas.  With gas prices getting higher and higher I decided to try to drive a little more “gently,” meaning less aggressive starts at lights and stop signs, a little slower on the interstate, etc.

Well, I had to fill up for the first time since trying this new method and I had driven 450 miles.  Not too shabby for making such a small change to how I drive.  That translates to less stops at the gas station, which translates to less money coming out of my pocket for gas.  That’s a good thing.
