Smile 19.42 MPG in a Jeep

OK, first fuel log entry was 18.9, above EPA standards for my Grand Cherokee. Tonight's fill up pushed me.5 MPG better than that, at 19.4. Granted, nothing compared to others with more economical leanings. But how about that, my average of 19.2 pushed me to 20% above EPA, which I guess is the magic figure to be tagged a "Hypermiler"! And I still have some other things I want to try.

Now my challenge is to KEEP it there. Summer is coming, AC will be on, Spring is here and more fourwheeling will hurt my average. I'll have to see how I can compensate. Wonder how I can equate trail cleanups into MPG...

I know, .5 isn't much. 19MPG average isn't great either. I really want to set my sights hard on seeing 20... Still not too bad for a brick!
