A Paseo is similar to a Del Sol is it not? I would say yes based on that.

Yeah, its fairly similar. I do have a back seat, but an adult can't sit back there comfortably. Its a 2000 lb, 93 hp, 1.5l engined car with a small frontal area.

If you want to get some idea what kind of FE improvement is possible with a similar type of car (a stock Honda Civic CX) just by developing your hypermiling techniques, go look at the gas log of my car "KeepsOn'Rollin' at Greenhybrid.com (http://greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/car/188.html)
I started out in the mid 40's to low 50's and ended up in the mid 50's to low 60's with the best summer tanks hitting 70mpg. This was before I started with the aero mods, so my speeds were in the 40 to 50mph range.

Thumbs up its all about goals

I truly belive you can.
It is a goal you set and after you attain it you set another.
Given my own lack of tenacity, I may not be the one to coach. But that doesn't change my belief.
!!You Can Do IT !!!
We are pulling for you.
As DPoV said, 52 was easy 60 is attainable.

I was amazed how well that car rolled on my driveway.

I got 47 mpg in my old car. That had pretty much the same engine and transmission. If I had known about pulse and glide and engine off coasting. I am sure I could have gotten 60 mpg in that car easy.

I think once the weather is a little nicer out, Doax should hit 60 mpg.

Similarly, I had not been using engine off coasting or pulse & glide until I figured out how to do it without resetting the ScanGauge (answer: kill switch).

I started using those techniques after my 03/02/2006 fill.
