damn, u saved 370dollars, that is nice.

let me add up.
from july 4th last year till my last fill up.
24512 miles.in less than a year.(and that is just my work truck)
884.697 gallons.
that gives me 27.70 miles per gallon.
at three dollars a gallon that would be
$2654.091

but at epa 17 combined
24512 miles would be
1441.88gallons @3.00 per gallon
4325.64 dollars.
a difference of
1671.55 bucks

yeah that paid for my scangauge.....

but i was getting 22.5 mpg before hypermiling.
so that is 1089.43 gallons at 3 dollare per gallon
3268.27dollars for a difference of
614.18 dollars....

so 5 mpg saved over 600 bucks..or 51 bucks a month.
but at epa like most people get. i saved 139.30 a month...


at epa 17 combined i would of drove 15039.73miles on 884.69 gallons
i got 9473 free miles. last year..
