Good job. My commute is almost the same 5.5 miles 22 stop lights. There are 2 left turns home (EOC most of time into left turn lane) and only one on the way to work. If you have a scanguage look at tank average speed. My normal average speed for a 2 month 450 mile tank is 22MPH. I wonder what it would be like if I drove normal.

Now that you have the hypermilling down. Start ECO-Modding and get another 5-10 MPGs.

With commutes like ours it is all about weight. Highway commutes its all about aero. So start throwing stuff out of the car. I've dropped 185 lbs - (AC, P/S, Passenger seat, back seat, glove box, passenger airbag, spare tire/jack, smaller/lighter wheels/tires. ...)
