Hello, everyone! I've been a hypermiler for quite some time and have lurked this forum without an account since January, when I first decided to become a hypermiler. I drive a 2009 Toyota Yaris and have gotten way more out of this vehicle than I could have ever hoped for. Currently I get 51 city, 57 highway. Everything is stock, but I'm currently working on mods so that I can get it above 60mpg.

I finally joined this forum because I'm tired of those around me rolling their eyes whenever I discuss hypermiling, or anything car related, and want a place where I can discuss my interests, show off, and pick up new techniques and ideas.

Cool beans man, glad to have you.

Have you setup your garage? Put your car and info in, and we all can watch your progress with you.

I'm currently attempting that, actually! It may be a while before I have a 90-day average, and I have no idea what my lifetime is, as I had this car for 3-4 months before I started hypermiling. My only guess as to what dreadful mpg I was getting then was about 20-24mpg. I was a really aggressive driver!

**Just realized that the whole 90 day and lifetime estimates are automatically generated by the fuel log. Excuse my noobishness.

That's impressive mileage from a stock Yaris - congrats. What's your typical drive like?

Welcome to the forum!

Well, it depends, really. During the school year my commute to campus is 60% city and 40% highway. However if I'm going to see my mom in Columbus then its more like 10% city, 90% highway.

I know the stoplights in Dayton really well, though, which may explain the high city mpg. Plus it helps that when I do get stopped by a long stoplight, I turn the car off.
