Thanks, I have to admit I have gone into "extreme hypermile mode" lately. In addition to adding as many EOC miles as possible, my average speed has gone from around 45 mph to closer to 40 mph. I still try to maintain 55 mph on the interstate portion of my commute, but have found 4 hills that I can pulse up to 65 mph and get great EOC results due to the aero mods when coasting back down to 55 mph

On the country roads, I am now coasting down to 30 mph instead of the 38 mph I was going in the past.

I have found the month of August to be the best time for the greatest MPG. This has motivated me to see just how much I can get out of my aero mods.

They should declare August as NATIONAL HYPERMILE MONTH!!!
