Lots of around town driving, temps dropped from mid 70's to mid 50's just as I started this tank. A lot of rain and getting stuck in rush hour traffic. Had pumped tires up to 47/48 psi just before my trip to Bryson City but dropping temps lowered them down to 43/44 psi once I got back. |

This is from March 1 - 25 after which I started keeping track again. Got discouraged by the lower mpg over the winter, didn't keep tank by tank record but did keep avg mpg going in car and can estimate month to month. Temps in March started rising and some days I gave myself more time to get to work more efficiently and others I had to rush in an un - Eco Driving style but mpg has started climbing again. |

This was my tank for your average driver. Tires we deflated down to around 28 - 30 psi, I ran with the A/C 90% of the time, reved higher, didn't time traffic lights, generaly accelerated away from lights at whatever pace the person next to me did. My mpg was actualy pretty close to what the average estimate is and if this is how most people drive no wonder they are complaining about gas prices. |

This was my Conservative tank. Pretty much just a public service announcement style "check your tires air pressure and slow down". NO EOC or P&G just slowing down and timing traffic lights as best as possible and used the A/C like a normal person would but my tires were inflated to 2 psi under sidewall max. Considering I would still go 58 - 65 on the highway getting over 36mpg was pretty damn good since 36 is the highway rating and I only drive about 60% highway. Even though this tank I allowed myself to use the A/C whenever I wanted it wasn't a hot week and I didn't need it that much. |

Going to be running 5 tanks with different driving styles and habits to see how much mpg changes. Going from most effective to least effective the tanks will be labeled as 1. Hypermiling, 2. Eco Driving (with engine off at lights), 3. Eco Driving (engine on at lights), 4. Conservative Driver, 5. Average driver and they all with have a brief description of what was done.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This tank is EcoDriving with engine off at lights. Tires were inflated so once warm were 2psi below sidewall rated max, P&G but no EOC, stuck to speed limit on highway and would kill the engine when coming up to a red light. Hot week, needed A/C. |

Continuation of first tank. City driving really kills mpg, this is about 70% highway, 30% city driving. Have used A/C a bit but I cycle it on and off to reduce it's negative impact. Did see that the tire pressure set by the dealership was only 32 psi. After gassing up increased it to 42psi in the rears and 40psi in the front (44psi sidewall max), that should increase my mpg by a bit. |

Night I purchased the XFE, only light P&G, no EOC, car had all of 30 miles on her when I bought it. Mileage calculated by electronics, tank was full and have to use some gas to be able to fill up at my regular station and pump#. The 75 miles was 90% highway, 10% city. |
