I have been temporarily laid off from my main job so what was once part-time income driving for Uber and Doordash has quickly become my main income. I've been driving more than ever racking up 50 - 100 miles a day. Traffic is virtually non-existent and a lot of people seem to just be Sunday Driving/Cruising around aside from the obvious delivery drivers.

Even though gas is going down in price, I have a renewed incentive to Ecodrive so here I am back at Ecomodder more than a decade after I first joined. I'm finding my Honda Accord to be fairly difficult to hypermile compared to other cars I used to own even with this reduced traffic. The college town I live near is very congested with lots of lights and pedestrians and we don't have any limited access freeways that are convenient for daily driving. I feel like I will have hit the holy grail if I can manage 30 MPG combined and 35 seems impossible.

Might be time to just buy a Prius.
