"Topped off my tank, reset my trip count and mpg average.......here this is my official start to hypermiling.
My averages are going to suck for a while, as I'm doing about 80% city right now, and because I suck at hypermiling in general, since I'm still a beginner.
I'm interested in keeping this log to see how I improve over time." |

"Taught my wife to drive stick with this tank, still 80% city, 20% highway- the EPA has been adjusted to reflect this driving ratio (27mpg average), so right now I'm at 16.7%. I feel like that's cheating though, since the 50/50 EPA mpg average is 30.
Pumped the tire pressure up to 38 PSI halfway through the tank, I have noticed though that with the cold weather (32 degrees) the tire pressure starts out at 35 PSI in the morning, and then slowly goes up to 37-38 PSI by the end of my drive

"Put a upper grill block and partial lower on during the last quarter of the tank
using fuel rewards from my local grocery, got a lot of $$ off per gallon
Wife took the car on a 200 mile round trip
My commute ends in the 5th level of a parking garage at the hospital i'm currently at (required parking for students/residents)...its killing my mpg" |

"to dayton and back, lots of P&G 55-60mph, some EOC
full upper and lower grill blocks now
it could have been much better, but the first quarter tank involved some savage city driving, including a brutal 1 mile bumper to bumper uphill stop and go that really killed the mileage
60-70% highway with this tank" |

Scraping ice off the car at 5am
have found some great EOC/bump start spots on my commute, also habitually incorporating DWL and P&G
edit: surprised at my actual mpg calculated here - my onboard mpg calculator had me at 38.3...must be from the EOC and my calculator not accounting for the portion when my engine is completely turned off, before i turn the electronics back on" |
