Highest trip to work was 61.4 mpg and I beat that yesterday with 65.9 mpg and then blew that away this morning with 70.3 mpg.
As well as beating my highest mpg for a tank of gas. My long standing record of 53.8 mpg was set on 4/26/10 and has been destroyed by my 59.56 mpg tank.
Now I have to learn from you, the best I can do was 52mpg.

What conditions were there?

What speeds did you drive and what techniques did you employ?

What distance is your average trip?

How much throttle and what gears do you use at different speeds?

I would like to try and replicate your driving technique on my 010 cobalt.

I have gotten 70+mpg on the trip meter a few times on short trips were the motor was already warm and I could basically slide back home P&G at low speeds.

Thanx
Ryan
