1998 VW New Beetle
Hi all, I am new here on ecomodder. I started hypermiling a few months ago and I love it. It's almost like having control over your fuel mileage, well you do, sort of. It is amazing what the benefits of simple techniques can do.
Ian

Welcome, Binary
What kind of mileage are you getting so far? I used to have a bookmark about a diesel beetle with aeromods, if I find it, I'll send it to you.

Thanks for the welcome, before I started hypermiling i was getting right around the normal 27 that they say i would get, now i am hovering around 32 in the city.  I don't have the miles and gallons from my past 2 receipts but I will enter my future ones for sure. If you find it I would very much like to see that diesel beetle with aeromods. I wish I had the diesel.
Ian
