Hey Guys,

I'm not a new member here but have recently had a change in employment which has required me to travel about 120 miles per day vs about 10, so my interest in fuel economy has been reinvigorated. I have a mech. engineering background and had worked as a sub for contract delivery using my Chevy astro van when I was in school 10 years ago, but have basically been a lurker here ever since delivery job went away. Currently driving a 2004 Chevy Impala and pushing toward sustainably hitting the EPA highway rating (28mpg) and working through some maintenance checks, cleaning, ect. My mpg trend has been positive. I had been (and still do) use the fuelly app for tracking mileage and maintenance so I was able to get the history from 2+ years loaded to get a baseline charted here. Looking forward to warmer weather / less challenging drives. The weather the last couple months has lead to some challenging driving.
