How I got 75MPG at the Glen

It starts with having a good car. The Civic VX is ideal for this sort of high speed constant driving. This is what Honda built it for with tall gearing and lean burn. Having a good navigator is also essential, my navigator was helping to keep track of lap times and fuel economy for each lap and suggesting changes to improve. Good driving technique of course is also helpful. Below is an elevation map of the Glen illustrated with the techniques I used. Red is EOC, Blue is DWL, and Green is puttin' the spurs to your pony. Comments welcome of course.


My car close to greatness...
