Trip home was amazing mileage... I think I perfected the P&G with my auto trans much better, and the new route (one road west) is only 2 stop signs vs ~10, one less turn (which is a stop on the other route). MPG according to the scan gauge... 48.1mpg. I don't think I have ever had that high in colder weather.
So far... been targeting 80% engine load on any take off or hill that is too large for my high mpg mode. Warm-up mode was via EOC (mainly to stop signs anyway). Hit 2 of the red lights this time, there was more traffic, so the last one turned green just before I got to it
.
Really... it didn't seem like that much better of a run, except in town at the 35mph zones the traffic was going ~30mph which got my instant mpg around 50-60 (very touchy) instead of ~40mpg @ 35mph. Weird mpg vs speed ^.^ I saw similar on another post, but I think the mpg @ 40 was the dip and 35 was the best before the 45mph one, which I have been basing my speeds on somewhat. Never had the traffic at 30mph before (rarely in town) so lean from experience I guess.
