Those "Chinese miles" involved fairly extreme hypermiling. I wouldn't drive an automatic that way long term; I just wanted to get a feel for the Versa's potential. More realistically, I'll probably bobble around in the mid-30s until I can get serious with some mods.

And wouldn't you know it: Except for the drive home from the gas station, it rained every single day of this tank!

I'm working on some future plans for my Non-Nissan, hoping to get its average up over 50 mpg...
Looking forward to hearing about them!

Cheers,
Rick
