Anyone else getting better MPG after katrina hit the gulf coast?

I use to get like 16.7 towards 17.4.Now i'm getting 18.3 to 18.8....I live in the southeast.So i was wondering is that just me ?

Maybe your foot has gotten more cautious after gas jumped up to $7.99 a gallon briefly

I have noticed improved mpg as well. I saw on the news today that normally gas stations are required to sell a "cleaner burning" fuel in the hot summer months; I'm guessing one with more ethanol. But this year, to ease demand, they have dropped that restriction. Maybe that has something to do with the better performance.
