My 99 Camry did it!

44.75 mpg!!

Yesterday I went to Nashville 220 miles one way and came back last night so total was 440 miles. Now how I did it

No A/C
kept it between 50-55, 60 max(on interstate traffic was too fast)
pulse and glide especially going down hills(reached 70 mph only turning 800 rpm)
no stops- 220 miles straight there 220 miles straight back
added for this trip wheel covers and partial lower grille block.

I have photos having problems uploading them I will try again tomorrow.

Very nice. Made the trip something like a game, eh?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
