New to the forum and new to this ecomodding thing.

So, I recently bought a 2014 Nissan Versa Note and I have been looking into ways to get better gas mileage out of it and my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. I deliver newspapers in the Note, so I expect that my mileage will not be nearly as good as many here, since in the 90 miles per night that I run, I have to make 150 stops. That really puts a damper on hypermiling, but I am still giving it a go. I am hoping to eventually get it to 50 mpg on my route, but we will see. It also has the CVT transmission, so a little iffy on neutral coasting or EOC. I filled up today and checked it by hand and I got 37 mpg out of this half tank. Not too shabby considering the highway rating is 40 mpg and I definitely wasn't highway driving. If anyone else is running one of these, feel free to let me know what you are doing to improve yours, and what kind of numbers you are getting. Thanks for all the great information on this forum and I look forward to adding some of my own.
