81 mpg
I got 81 mpg driving 6 miles from the gas station to home. I coasted a lot and it's mostly down hill.
|
mostly down hill and you only got 81MPG? how big was the grade?
|
about 70 feet lower elevation change in 6 miles, not counting the uphill parts on the interstate that's .2% grade average. I can easily beat that on my bicycle. I also has a few red lights that I stopped for.
|
Those red lights are the killer:(
|
I get infinite mpg (0 l/100) for 4 km on my commuting trip, EOCing down a light slope (2%) at safe speed.
|
That's 0.2% not 2%. I get infinite going uphill on my bicycle every day on my commute. That's 6 miles which is 10 km, half in town. If I lived only 4 km from work I'd ride my bike, its good for you.

I whish I was close enought to work. For me it's 22 miles each way. A bit to far to bike.

I use to commute 40 miles each way, half on crushed limestone, in my homemade fully streamlined recumbent bike, 2 1/2 hours each way was about normal. Then I move closer to work.

Coasting is the bestest way to get superior mpg next to lean burn and good old fashion aero mods. :thumbup:
