I just added a consistent second carpool member to my commute (third occupant). Weather has been good this last week but I'm not seeing a big difference or drop in MPG. The commute is 98% highway miles. I think weight makes a difference in stop and go situations. I'm still working out where to pick them up for ease and efficiency. One member I drive to his house but it isn't bad cause I get a lot of coasting with that diversion. My last tank was 66.83MPG with both members riding 4 out of 5 days with me.

What is that....200.49 MPG man miles?

Edit: Oh by the way....I don't pay for gasoline any more for my work commute. The members split it. I cover all of the car costs and driving dicipline (maintenance, insurance, etc.)
