Greetings from San Diego

Hi everyone! My name is Steve and I've been lurking here for awhile and thought I'd finally join up since I've been hypermiling in all of my vehicles for a long time now...although, these days it's mostly coasting in neutral down hills. No more turning the ignition off and coasting, then get 2-3 pumps out of the breaks before restarting the car.

I'm a diesel nut and love the idea of getting awesome mileage while still having "normal" performance from a modern diesel. My love for diesels started while stationed in Germany many moons ago. How cool is a Mercedes Taxi diesel? And most of the Army vehicles were diesel...I just love the sound of them.

My current rides:
2016 Mercedes Airstream 3.0 TD auto avg. ~ 22 MPG
2017 Chevy Cruze, 1.6 TD manual avg ~ 52 MPG ...worst was 38

Steve
