This has been my first week at EM and I'm having a good time. I have a 2007 Kia Spectra EX (2.0L). I usually get about 34-36 MPG. Now that I'm trying a few different things, my first EM week was 46.25 MPG. Heck Yea!! I got a new set of Michelin Destiny tires put on today and am ready for next week to see what can happen.

Welcome to EM! I'm kinda in the same boat as you. I just finished a baseline tank on the new honda.. I'm excited to drive out this next tank to see what some moderate hypermiling can do, and then I'm even more excited to start modding for MPG's!

KCF3712 welcome, looks like you have some really good gains there, im still trying to break the 30 mpg barrier myself but im getting close.

I assume the michelin destiny tires are low rolling resistance tires in which case you might get around 6% increase assuming your old tires were just standard tires. This info comes from the wiki. Also i have seen several reports that with low rolling resistance tires the efficiency can go down initially when the tires are breaking in.

Since your new to the site and probably looking for that next good modification you might find the wiki useful if you haven't already come across it
Car MPG Efficiency Modifications Main - EcoModder
It was initially created so new people like yourself dont have to comb through all the threads to get efficiency and how to info.
