1st 80 MPG trip!
This is from testing the new wheel covers out yesterday. It is only a 4-4.25 mile trip. However, my previous best was 63.8, so this is substantial for me 
Used DWL, P&G, and EOC & EOnC to achieve this. SG is calibrated well!
The car is an automatic, btw

Reason: Underestimated the distance!

That is sweet, especially for that truck, mikeyjd. This is not all down hill, though. Being in the coastal plain, there is too few hills and too much flat land.

put a few more miles on that tank and get an average. like said, there are stretches where I can get 112 mpg but it all averages out.

I surely will. I'm hoping that this tank will be the one to crack 50 mpg. |

I felt like I needed to let everyone know, this short trip is not one that I did with bad intentions of looking better than anyone else. This route is one that I have used to test aero mods for the past 6 months on my car. The mpgs have risen, from 51 to 53, to 58, 59, 61, 63 and now this crazy 80 of yesterday. I don't want anyone thinking I am trying to get more glory than what is due. Just excited to share a small stepping stone in my ecomodding journey  |
