"first hypermiling long distance trip! Did the following:
1. Inflated tires to max psi of 44 at about 65 degrees F
2. Left early for Bay Area to Santa Barbara trip, about 4:30am to miss traffic
3. Drafted larger trucks where applicable, but not excessively
4. Did P+G, often pulsing up to trucks and gliding back. Max speed probably 75, min speed 40 for the entire trip, usually 50-70mph.
5. Did some EOC on some of the longer hills" |

"more like it! Almost all highway, 87 octane @ Costco Santa Rosa, $3.92/gal. Lots of hilly highway driving on 101 from Santa Rosa to Arcata and back. Lots of EOC on the longer hills between Arcata/Eureka and Ukiah. Some traffic but not too bad. 48psi tires, and 1 person with luggage halfway, 2 ppl with luggage on the way back." |

"Last tank measurement and this one are in error, since the last fillip was not complete even though I topped up and the pump stopped twice. So this tank was under the correct mileage, last one over. Combined is 42.35mpg though, so that should be accurate." |
