Daox, before joining the forum I was skimming through and stumbled upon your car. Its impressive what these little cars are capable of. My brother has 3 Tercels and a Paseo haha.
I have been driving very conservatively but the majority of my driving is done at rush hour so that limits my ability to implement all of the hypermiling techniques. Another factor which I think plays a role in capping my fuel economy is the engines tired state. Roughly 280,000km and a slight idle problem might be holding me back.
Now that winter is on its way I won't be expecting any amazing numbers. I'm very interested in some simple aerodynamic modifications such as an aluminum belly pan and rear quarter-panel extensions.
I'm using a somewhat primitive technique for calculating my fuel mileage but I think that for my amateur approach the Trip meter and receipt from a fuel tank will suffice.
Looking forward to some lower numbers! Happy miling!
