Hitting the pavement for a 375 mile trip to PA tonight. Leaving the house at midnight...arrive at 7am...hopefully will have the highway to myself for the most part.
Plan to use Wayne's "Prius Super Highway Mode" techniques to maximize mpg (pulse to 65 mph...lightly release go pedal until IGN on SGII settles at 14 IGN...coast it down to 55 mph...repeat process). I toyed with this a little last night and found it to work pretty well. After settling IGN at 14 for about 5 secs the mpg jumped from 60 to 90 and stayed above 75 mpg until I began my pulse section again.
Also, will have passenger side mirror folded in to reduce drag...if I find there to be very little traffic outside of Boston might fold the driver's side in too.
