When you say you "race the engine", what do you mean? If you mean you
press on the gas pedal, and feel the transmission shifting down into a lower gear, that is normal depending upon how hard you push.

The first thing to look at is your driving style. Then the mix of
city/country driving. One thing most people don't realize is that the more you use your brakes, the worse your gas mileage will be. Brakes use up horsepower in the form of heat. The more heat you burn off, the more engine horsepower it takes to create the need to dump heat. If you are the type that accelerates hard in traffic, followed by hard braking, you are going to get a lot worse mileage than someone who drives more moderately. There is not much you can do from a mechanical or electrical standpoint other than check the air filter to make sure it is clean.
