64.9 MPG in my Honda CRX HF ... I didn't expect that!
Finally filled up again in my '91 CRX HF, I drove 423.5 miles on the last tank. I could have went probably another 150 miles, but it's hard to keep going when you want to check your average all the time. :rolleyes: Anyway, I drove 423.5 miles on 6.525 gallons = 64.9 MPG I did the math, and thought, "that can't be right"... so I squeezed the pump again and it was full. It stopped on 6.679, which made it slightly less, so that's what I added to my fuel log. :thumbup:

I used a gps so make sure my odometer is correct. It was off by 2.8% so now i consider this when i calculate my fe. If you don't have a gps use google maps, drive on a street at least 3 miles or so and remember the points where you started and ended then check on google maps to see if it's correct

Wow, nice job.

I haven't done a detailed test, but my commute round trip is 40.2mi on Google Maps and I end up getting back home between 39.5-41 miles on my odometer (probably from lane changes, etc). I would say its really close, I'll have to see exactly... I do have a nice fuel friendly drive, the roads are mostly 2 lanes each way with 55mph limit, some really curvy one lane 45mph, then city parkway that's 30mph.

In May of 08 I drove my 94 VX 300 miles on 4.627 gallons of gas at an average speed of 64 MPH, on the original tires that were 14 years old, and a 245 pound passenger.
Great work Isaac. regards Mech |
Congrats, Isaac! That's almost better than finding spare change in the couch cushions, eh?
CRX HF: fun & frugal |
Great car, and GOOD driving!

Thanks guys! I had a slightly lower tank average this time because I just didn't try as hard to hypermile...this tank though may be my best yet. It's a 10 Gal tank and I have driven 200 miles on 1/4 tank, the gauge isn't accurate, but it's better than usual consumption.

That's weird, I make sure it updates each time I add a new one. I usually have to delete my cache/cookies and everything... hmm
