Huh? I can sit there for 10 hours with the ignition on and the MPG doesn't change.

Nobody's talking about coasting with the engine off.

Geez! I wish I could get that kind of mileage! I will have to try the A/C trick. So I don't have to run the A/C to get it working? Just turn it off, and to recirculate? Hmm.... Although on a day like today, I don't care what my mileage is...turn up the air!

We are using the A/C trick and it works great. Trust me you dont have to worry about it getting it cold. We are seeing 100 degree temps and it works just fine.
