Do you have the auto or the manual shift? Are you coasting in neutral and/or downshifting to slow down? If you put the front defroster on at all, you get A/C which kills the FE. I just unplug the fuse; but now the coolant has leaked out after a couple of years without any use.

I have sealed the hood gap already. I noticed the defrost increase gallons per hour by almost .10 gallons at idle. So you unplug the fuse to be able to still use the front defrost but without using ac? I wonder if that was done to keep the ac in good working order.
I have the auto so I am limited in terms of hypermiling. I typically will downshift to slow down if its a long enough distance. My techniques could use some improvement as you can see from my average.
Thanks for the comment.
