keep it going

This thread can help lots of people who think change happens fast. For me, I started "trying to" hypermile and went from 28mpg to 34-35. Then after continued trying, I was still averaging 35ish, but noticed others in my same car were getting 48. I chose to get in on a group buy for the SgII and 3weeks later my best commute is up to 45.6mpg over 28.5mi. I've been able to bump my tank up 5mpg after just 3 tanks with the SgII.

Like the old NBC saturday morning "the more you know" commercials:
"now you know, and knowing is half the battle"

PS after adjusting my driving habits I can now achieve better mpg in my Ford Explorer than I was getting in my Honda Accord (pre-hypermiling). I just aero-modded my accord tonight and we'll see what the payoff is.
