Another Best trip! 50.6 mpg (57 mile commute)
It was on my way home from work with a 13 mph tail wind! Scanguage showed 50.6 mpg. Its insane how much hypermiling and a nice tail wind improves your numbers.
Route:A 2 lane state rd. passing through several towns.
Approximately 16 stoplights: I got caught by 3 but did not have to come to a complete stop at any of them.
Approximately 10 stop signs: I usually roll through at ~6mph
I pulled onto the shoulder 3 times and and coasted w/ hazards on to allow people to pass. I Started giving people 1 opportunity to pass ne while I maintain a steady speed of 45 mph. If they choose to not pass given the opportunity I begin my pulse and glide strategy until the next area where there is considerable shoulder length to aloow for people to pass.
Also written on my read window is:
42mpg
<------PASS
A side note. I attempted a cardboard grill block but I was unsuccessful at making it look good so I scrapped that project and will try again.
