so i looked back at my mileage log from the last years worth of gas tanks.. 62 to be exact. I averaged 323.11 miles per tank. 304 being my worst and 339 being my best.

After one tank of hypermiling I've hit 403.89. Promising start. 20% gain. I will have more tanks and hopefully I can beat this result. I have noticed that I am becoming a much better pulse and glider. On my 15.53 mile commute I manged to coast in neutral with engine off for 5 miles. Every day Im getting a bit better. And I rarely ever make a full stop. Im getting better at this. And if I do stop for some reason the engine gets turned off. so how do I take this to the next level? I want 500miles on one tank!!lol Ive also taken out the spare and jack. (40lbs) all the junk is gone out of my car. That was about 5lbs. The sun visors and sun glasses holder. Maybe 1lb. Does weight reduction make a big difference? it seems like the next 100lbs will be much harder to strip.
