Hello from NM :) 2017 Beetle, 2005 MDX
I stumbled into ecomodding and hypermiling 15 years ago. I was driving a V6 Fiero with a non-overdrive auto transmission, and had to watch it to keep it from becoming a gas hog. Luckily, my dad used to rebuild transmissions and gave me some pointers.

Today, I have a 2005 Acura MDX and recently bought a 2017 VW Beetle. Thus far, my best tank was 42 MPG hypermiling the Beetle by working the tiptronic carefully. Definitely looking at how I can further improve the mileage on these cars.

Welcome,

If you keep track of your fuel logs, you can post your car's info and submit the logs here to compare with other eco modders through the Garage function.
