Broke 60 mpg for the first time!
Pretty pumped about it, it had seemed like a barrier I wasn't going to cross!
The 489 miles I drove on this tank was just my usual daily commuting, nothing out of the ordinary, no super-slow driving or anything like that. So maybe the Kammback I added last weekend actually helped. If so, I should get even a little better mpg next tank
I'm also getting better every day at bump starting it, so that may have helped, too

I drive the same route every day, so every morning I challenge myself to do a little better reading the upcoming lights, keying off at the perfect time, bump starting a little smoother . . . . Next thing I know, I'm at work!
The game resumes after work, and then the next thing I know, I'm at home!
What used to be a boring commute is now a road rally game, ran at really slow speeds!

Congrats man. I can't get 60MPG unless I drive slower then 55. That doesn't happen to often with 75MPH speed limits.
Are pics of your kammback somewhere? |

Great work, I hit my highest en route mpg mark today of 53.8 today over 18 miles on my commute. This is the right time of year to get good numbers!
