Hi everyone, I'm Steve, I live in suburban Kansas City, MO, and I'm glad to be here. While I'm new to the forum, I'm not really new to hypermiling. For the last five-plus years, I drove a 2005 Scion xB MT, and there was a small group of people on the ClubxB forums who worked to maximize fuel economy. I didn't keep meticulous records, but based on my Ultragauge long-term readouts (reset annually the last three years), I got between 37 and 38 over the time I owned the car. The updated EPA combined rating is 28.

With the Scion totaled by an inattentive driver a couple of weeks ago, I just bought a 2013 Buick LaCrosse eAssist. Since people on the Buick forums aren't really talking about maximizing fuel economy, I figured I'd come to the source. Looking forward to figuring out how to get greater than the EPA combined 29 in that boat, and to contribute what I do know.

Thanks!
