3 time in a row! (100+ mpg returning from work)

[HyperMileQC]

Its the third day in a row that I do 100+ mpg on the returning trip from my work. I did 103.8, 108.3 and finally 107.6 mpg today! Next goal is a 100+ mpg AVG score for the morning trip plus the returning trip. For now, highest score is 95.8 mpg (did it today ).

Did 107.6 mpg | 2.19 L/100 km on the returning trip today :

Sweet! What's your driving commute like? And what are you doing differently now than befoe in order to hit 100mpg?

[HyperMileQC]

Its 100% city, with a max speed of 30 mph. My average speed is around 21 mph and I only do P&EOC (Pulse and Engine Off Coasting). The difference is the experience I have now between when I started doing this commute in June. Since July 4th, I have my Bridgestone Potenza RE92 summer tire, so that must make a huge difference. They are also inflated 10+ PSI more (55 front, 50 rear vs 40 all around). I am 100% lower grille block compared to when I started doing the commute, I also bought a 12V battery charger and I plug my EBH (Electric Block Heater) each morning for 3 hours.

Lowest average I got for now on this commute is high 60 mpg (US). and highest is 95.8 mpg (re-did it today!).

The highest one-way highscore is 88.9 mpg (US) for the morning trip and 113.2 mpg (US) for the returning trip(did it today!).

Great numbers m8! Maybe 4 hours of preheating would be worth trying? Is that a coolant or oil heater you have?

Thank you!

I did some test previously and 3 hours seems to be perfect for me. after three hours, the heat hits a plateau, and doesn't get very higher even with 1 or 2 hour more. On the ScanGauge before starting the car and after being plugged for 3 hours, my c°WT (Water (coolant) Temperature in Celsius) shows between 47°C and 69°C depending on outside temperature and numerous other little factors. It lowers 4-5°C when I start the engine. 71°C is the highest I've seen after plugging for 4 hours and 15 minutes and it was around ~29°C outside.

It is a coolant block heater. I plan on buying an oil pan heater and a transmission heater before cold temp arrives.

get them quick and you can get 100mpg on your morning trip as well

Next pay maybe, hahaha!

I wonder what kind of mileage I could get if I could plug my car at work?
I have Echo-Francis' Fire Blanket and when I work 4 hours there is still some heat in the engine compartment, but after 8 hours, there's nothing left...
