never really got started back in '12

I joined this community many moons ago looking to save fuel on my commute. Well now I'm back with a different commute and a different car. A 95 Lexus with 169k on the clock. I don't think I'm doing terrible. This time I'll stick around longer I think

It's not about any particular commute, although the commute gives you a concrete goal. Welcome back.

Agreed, I save fuel everywhere I go. I even save fuel on my motorcycle (which is more of my toy and have a lot of fun with). The techniques you learn can always apply, even if you're in a hurry you can save fuel.

Welcome back!
It's all about 'adjusting the nut behind the wheel' .... And raising the tire psi above 40!

Thanks guys. Ive been consistently shocked by how easy this car is to hypermile. I had to work to get 40% over EPA with my Saturn. I don't even neutral coast with this, let alone EOC. I think I can get my high score up a few more clicks. I fill up tomorrow. Can't wait to see
