My pet peeve which is not new are finger prints on my black car, so i had to figure out how to close the door without getting finger prints, so i stick my finger in the door handle hole to close it and i tell any passenger to do the same, now...... no finger prints.

Yep...

this car has me trying to maximize fuel economy and now the people in front of me are deciding to ride the brake all the way down the hill while I'm trying to coast down it... I'm painfully aware of these things now.

The CR-Z coasts so well that especially downhill, but even on flat roads, other drivers too often are in the way.

Lightbulb Optimum speed- spinoff of What's Causing This?

Under the best of all conditions, what kind of mileage can you get at the best possible speed?

Flat and straight road,
Windows closed,
AC off,
Constant Speed,
No wind,
Tires properly inflated,
No drafting.
etc.

I would guess something between 40 and 45 would give the best results.
Has anyone checked this?

Does a different grade of gas change this?

I wouldn't mind doing it myself, but "Flat and straight" does not describe ANY of the roads near me.
