New trip record, 111mpg!
I've got a short trip to get home from my office, so I know that it may be a little misleading... but previously my best on the way home was around 80mpg. Today I decided to take a slightly different route and got 111mpg! I'm happy, but I'm still going to try to beat it.

Good going 
Is the new route also shorter? How does total fuel used compare between routes?

Actually it's about .75mi longer. However that added distance is without the engine running. 
Total fuel consumed is not too different, .005gal less.
The 111mpg is NOT a representation of what the car does on a regular basis, but seeing as I make the trip from office to home almost every day, I get excited when I beat my previous best trip mpg.

Wow great result for a fellow Honda Civic driver. Are you doing EOC just using the key?

Nice! What is your best the other direction for that trip?
And What is that map thing your using to show the trip and elevation?

Yeah, I haven't installed a kill switch yet. It's on the to-do list though.

I can usually get about 45-50mpg going the other direction, but usually it requires that I stop at a couple of traffic lights.
The map is a screen shot from the Bike Maps, Cycling Workout, Biking Routes | MapMyRide website.

I bet you could get much better MPGs by pushing the car to work? (lol)
In all seriousness, that's really good. Eventually I will get me one of those ScanGauges. Never had a car with more than a basic computer till recently.
