Possibly not at the moment. Did an experiment as my tank to tank is poor but it matches the SG2 fillups and the SG2 keeps telling every trip is fueled by Unicorn pee as I'm using little petrol.

Experiment was how far before bar 1 goes on the useless*dumb*idiotic fuel gauge bars thing. When I started 90 was good, then got it up to 120 last summer, and now its about 115 - which should mean not so far from when I got 120 (and got a 68+ MPG for the tank), but tank MPGs are much lower.

For this tank I have not hypermiled, I have sinned (been up to 70, and explored the area over 3000 RPM a few times) - quite fun for such a small engine. 1st bar went at 113 miles.

So actually hypermiling means nothing
