I didn't "try" much at all on the first 167 miles. But I was very mindful of my use of brakes, and carried a heck of a lot of speed through the corners while accelerating around 75% throttle. Bear in mind I kept up (and sometimes surpassed) the rest of the group and their fuel consumption hovered around 10 mpg.

For the remainder of the tank I tried fairly hard, but never drove under the posted limit.

Overall I'd say I used decent hypermiling - the speed part.

I'm rather impressed
