Mom's 1999 Plymouth Voyager results

So my mom drives a Plymouth Voyager with a 3.3L V6 engine. I have taken out her middle bench seat since she doesn't drive around too many people at a tim ever since I got my license. Then I also took off her roof rack. She replaced her tires with narrower ones, not for ecomodding but just because that's what the mechanic put on .

Long story short, turns out she is a Hypermiler without even trying to change her driving style where I on the other hand try so hard and still she gets the same MPG as me.

Tomorrow we are going on a long trip and I am going to try to drive close to 60 mph, maybe I can see something close to 30 mpg.

I don't know what the point of me making this thread is though, I guess I just got over excited about her MPG.
