I just performed my first refill after getting inspired by EcoModder.com and starting to use many of hypermiling tips (the ones I'm comfortable with, at least). I just calculated 34.5 MPG!!! (Probably not correct... see post from 8/13/08)

Actually, it would be 33.4 mpg, but I'm allowing 3.3% extra miles for my slightly oversized tires (60R15s vs 55R15s)

. Wow, the best I think I've ever done before was 28 mpg, and I think I was typically getting 26 or 27mpg.

THANKS EcoModder.com!!! You're awesome!!!
