standard tank, mostly commuting miles, short trips. If I don't do a long trip, I usually only fill up once a month, and could have gone a week more, at least.

more like it! Almost all highway, 87 octane @ Costco Santa Rosa, $3.92/gal. Lots of hilly highway driving on 101 from Santa Rosa to Arcata and back. Lots of EOC on the longer hills between Arcata/Eureka and Ukiah. Some traffic but not too bad. 48psi tires, and 1 person with luggage halfway, 2 ppl with luggage on the way back.

very normal tank. Lots of short trips on a cold engine, some freeway driving to Costco, some driving girlfriend to BART and going to lunch. LOTS of stop and go trying to time lights and slow gradually to a stoplight. Filled up with Costco 87.

first hypermiling long distance trip! Did the following:
1. Inflated tires to max psi of 44 at about 65 degrees F
2. Left early for Bay Area to Santa Barbara trip, about 4:30am to miss traffic
3. Drafted larger trucks where applicable, but not excessively
4. Did P+G, often pulsing up to trucks and gliding back. Max speed probably 75, min speed 40 for the entire trip, usually 50-70mph.
5. Did some EOC on some of the longer hills
