2013-05-01 128.7 2.21 $3.89 58.24 "maxed out the png on this tank and also had some help from the new underbelly pan. 60mpg should be in sight for this car next tank "
2013-05-08 412.3 7.315 $3.77 56.36 "Had a few issues. Had a noise I burned some fuel trying to work out. Also went 70+ on the freeway to avoid being late for a meeting. next tank should be 60+!!"
2013-05-26 501.8 8.021 $3.94 62.56 "Super pumped to break 60mpg! Warmer weather +better driving= best tank so far "
2013-05-30 179 3.241 $3.79 55.23 "Quite a bit of impatient city driving hurt this one. I also helped my brother move some of his belongings which meant an additional 300ish pounds for half the miles."
2013-05-30 61.7 0.8463 $3.97 72.91 "A: portion of the test Highway P&G test (60-50) with a 55mph semi for 90% of the trip."
2013-05-30 61.7 0.728 $3.79 84.75 "B: Portion of the hwy P&G test. (60mph-40mph) coastdowns with an average of 30 second coasts and speedups. Temp on both runs was 84 F. 60psi in rear tires 55 in front tires."
2013-06-11 441.9 6.829 $4.26 64.71 "Hypermiled my arse off on this one. total average speed 34mph. All fair weather driving with average temps in the low 80's."
2013-06-18 232 3.72 $3.89 62.37 "Good tank. Mostly highway at 55mph."
2013-06-19 234.8 3.652 $3.71 64.29 "Same trip as yesterday 5mph slower "
2013-06-24 627.3 9.692 $3.53 64.72 "Pulse & Glide is normal now Over 1,000 kilometers!"
2013-06-25 78.8 1.192 $3.43 66.11 "Had to top off at $3.43 "
2013-06-29 459.3 7.161 $3.33 64.14 "Mostly country roads driving with some highway. Good weather and cheaper gas makes me happy"
2013-07-01 351.4 5.254 $3.31 66.88 "Lots of lower speeds on back country roads where I can pulse & glide 45-35. 70 mpg finally feels like a realistic goal for one tank. I filled up early since gas was still 3.31 at this one station and seemed to be going up other places."
2013-07-09 496.7 7.4117 $3.68 67.02 "Mostly backroads (50-35mph P&G) with some highway steady state 50-60mph."
2013-07-19 595.5 8.3981 $3.98 70.91 "90% back roads driving in 90+ degree weather... The lack of comfort is somewhat offset by my new record tank. I've been taking my coast downs all the way down to 30mph (traffic permitting)."
2013-08-05 254.9 3.638 $3.74 70.07 "Drove mostly back roads. 50-30mph p&g's"
2013-08-05 190.2 2.012 $3.69 94.53 "I decided to go all out before summer ends to see what this car is capable of. I had all day to do the drive so I thought I'd do a really slow jaunt for a max mpg attempt. Pulse and glide 40-25mph for 97% of these miles. Windows up flow through vent on low (it was overcast and about 73F so I didn't need it much.)
I should have picked a different day perhaps since I was kinda feeling sick, but I didn't want to let the summer slip away before trying this challenge I am really excited about the results, but I think I will enjoy them more once the sickness wears off."
2013-08-09 296.4 4.011 $3.46 73.9 "Same techniques as the last few tanks. Lower speeds when possible."
2013-08-24 480.9 6.898 $3.68 69.72 "I had to use the freeway at 60mph in order to make it to an appointment on time. I tried to make up for the extra fuel used there by extra careful back roads driving and I think I did a pretty decent job since that highway stretch probably netted high 50's or low 60's mpg. All in all a pretty good tank."
2013-08-27 597.5 8.132 $3.5 73.48 "Mostly P&G with EoC on back roads. about 20 freeway miles of 50-55mph steady steady with the occasional P&G/EoC."
2013-08-29 618.5 8.598 $3.79 71.94 "2 long trips, on back to back days, on back roads for this tank. 55-30 P&G with EoC."
2013-09-06 689.1 9.831 $3.67 70.09 "I was aiming for 700 miles on this tank but I was below empty so I chickened out. Maybe next tank I'll carry a gallon size tank with me so I can make 700 miles. I had to accelerate pretty close to WOT a few times this tank which cost me a better result."
2013-09-28 545.9 7.991 $3.39 68.31 "Weather is cooling down."
