I tend to drive with my right foot on the accellerator. Though I am
flexable, I could not drive like you do....

Ever get 20mpg with a Scirocco?  I have!  How about 35? done that too!  The
most drastic change is always going to be the driver's foot!!!  Other than
that, effeciency.  Clean plugs, correct timing, and a properly tuned fuel
system are the most effective ways to save on gas.  (although new plugs for
a
V-8 won't pay for themselves).  If you are building an engine, you have a
choice of cams.  Those cars that have a rough blub-blub-blub idle have
prostreet/race cams that suck (litteraly) for gas milage.  There is your
chance to save big $.
But still, the best advice is to keep that left foot high off the
floorboards!
