How to get cars on left side of posts, just under username - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

I am seeing posters here with their vehicles--with this information on the left side of the post, just under the username. I suppose I could put my vehicle information in the sig, but if it is more standard to put it to the left, I can do that. How is that done?I looked in my CP but didn't see how.

That's the garage. Click the "Garage & Tools" link at the middle top and add a car to yours.

Got it. Thanks. I was happy to see that I'm only getting 1 MPG less on the freeway than the revised EPA. Hopefully I can take another trip at my new freeway speed (60 MPH) and check it again. I would expect at least 1 MPG boost from dropping from 75 to 60 MPH, but we'll see how faithful I stay on an extended trip.

Thanks, but I'll wait till I'm 101% over EPA to do that. No point in showing off my 1% BELOW EPA, although that is a sign that this little car has held up very very well---at 180K miles.

EDIT: OK I meant 1% over EPA. 101% over, would be about 67 MPG, which I just don't expect.

You're probably a little above it right now. The figure is based off EPA combined MPG (look it up here: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/) rather than Hwy. You'll want to fill in that info in your garage profile for your Civic.

Hmmm---look at this one. There are several Honda Civics, even from 1998. This is mine: Compare Side-by-Side

DX hatchback, automatic, no VTECH. The Hwy is 33 MPG in that link.

Correct.

and EPA City is 25.
and EPA Combined is 28.

You want to put in all three, not just hwy. Combined is what the figure in the signature is based off of.

Mine is currently at 38.9mpg (90 day average) which is 14.4% above my EPA combined average of 34mpg but less than my EPA rated 39mpg hwy.
