Hypermiling Update

Published 15 May 07 03:38 PM | JoeFuture

With a bit of a cold snap, some cruising around neighborhoods at low speeds, and rushing my wife to a doctor's appointment (lesson: always leave early), this tank wasn't as good as the last.  I got 48.9mpg for 502.6 miles.  Here's a snap of the dash just after I filled up, but before I had started the engine and reset the odometer.

 

It's a shame this one is blurry.  If you squint, you'll see that for the first .5 miles of my new tank (from the gas station to work this morning), I'm getting 92.6 mpg :).  I'm sure that will drop at least 40 mpg on the way home from work today, but it's fun to see.  I tried hard, but I couldn't get it up to 99.9 to see if it would flip over.
