Broke my record ideal trip mpg
 

There is a small industrial area around my house where I have been practicing hypermiling techniques. It's where I taught myself to eoc and where I try to see the greatest potential of my hypermiling ability and my Honda Insight. My first attempts at engine off coasting led me to one run where I reset the scan gauge and got 101 mpg. Since then, I have been unable to match that except for one trip that was at night with no traffic. Today, I went around my industrial test loop and got:

120 mpg!

Great. Now I got another record that's gonna be hard to break.:thumbup:

daaaymn 120MPG!!! killa!

i'm sure a stupid question, so excuse my noobstickness; but what is "EOC" ?

Engine off coasting. Or codfish (look it up). :D

well for the record, I did google search it before I posted... but hey thanx for the linky! maaaan, between teaching and Ecomodder, i swear there are like 1000 acronims to learn haha :)

you have never been in the military!!!!!

They invented acronims!!!!!!!!

120 is a baller number! Give progress on fillups!





What you forgot to mention is how the military likes to shorten things up with acronyms and then turn them back into words. Like, AWOL; Absent Without Leave or even better the Warrior Ethos which is spelled LDRSHIP; Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Integrity, Personal courage. The list goes on of course. So nice to know that those are just memories.. lol

I definitely will be keeping progress. I recently bought this car, so I just haven't had a full tank that I filled up with yet. I'm travelling to Michigan next weekend, so I should have a fill up in there soon, but keep in mind this was PERFECT driving conditions. I'm still trying to learn with this car, and it looks like I can average around 65-70 mpg in the city with ease, but I want more.:thumbup:
