I'm not much of a blogger and am usualy a lurker on forums so chances are I'll only keep the gas log I have over at gassavers. (unless thats a problem?)
I just don't see me keeping 2 logs up to date.

Though I have decided to run some tests on the XFE.....2 tanks ecodriving (cycle A/C, light P&G, keep to the speed limit), 2 tanks hypermiling (EOC, P&G, no A/C), and 2 tanks just driving conservativly (use A/C to keep comfortable, +5 over speed limit, no P&G or EOC).

So far my first 2 tanks in the car were ecodriving and were 40 & 40.3 mpg averages.
I'm 109 miles (1/5) into my hypermiling tank and have an average (digital) of 47.5 mpg, though I'm sure the actual mpg will come out to around 45.5 - 46.5 at the end of the tank.
I'm highly suprised as I havn't done any mods to the car other then pumping up the tires to 40 psi.

I'm actualy getting better mpg then my co-workers wife in her Prius (though she doens't hypermile/ecodrive.
