- Manual trans with short gears = high rpm.
- Rolling hills, 100-200 ft up and down, over and over and over again.
My best over 150 miles was 75 mpg, using a 45-60mph pulse & glide, pulsing on the uphills. Pulse from just before the bottom, partway up, and then coast up and over the crest and down the back side. About 75% throttle on the pulse, in top gear (rpm 2,000 to 2,800).
