26.2 mpg Toyota Previa. Go Golden Egg!
Just got a record mpg run to Seattle and back with some city driving as well. Was doing average 70mph on the highway as well.
Mods so far:
1) No alternator, running on 2 deep cycle batteries.
2) Electric cooling fan
3) All accessory belts off (no p/s, a/c, fan, alt.)
4) All passenger seats out.
That's it.
Driving habits:
1) Coasting when possible.
2) Drafting at a safe distance
3) Side mirrors in.
4) Windshield wipers vertical when possible.
Lots more mods to come.
I use this van for business. I need a van to move my furniture and supplies.
My alternate transports are the electric motorcycles.
Added: EPA is 20mpg highway giving me 31% over EPA so far.
