Personal best on your latest fill-up? Post it here!

I had a PR tank in the YARDIS a week ago too. Filling up after 4 months I got a tiny bit better than last time (a tank spreading from February to May). 4.17 l/100 km | 56.37 mpgUS. I'd love to see a sub-4l tank, but it seems it won't be a winter one, and I rarely use the car if I can ride my motorcycle. Although not proportional to her weight, but Teresa definitely drinks less.

I had flirted with 50 a few times, but I crossed the line today with 52.5 MPG in the Beetle.
I got a few good coasts but I paid for them; 6 trips from near sea level to 5000'.

Personal goal met - new personal best - 60.1 Math - 60.3 FCD

Bought the car last November for a song, she was in decent shape but the MPGs had suffered... 50.5 lifetime, it was getting 45-48 at the time.

New indexed plugs from Honda, oil and trans fluid change, tires at max, adjust valve lash, replace missing aero underneath. Lightweight speakers and headunit, hot air intake, grill block and some learning and I finally got above 60mpg for a tank!!!

35 mile/day commute with little elevation change, but speeds up to 75/80. Finished out the tank with 622.4 and it took 10.365 gallons. Gauge had read completely empty for about 60 miles!! FCD said 60.3, math was 60.1 so pretty close. Over 60 regardless. I'm super proud. Going to update my hot air intake as it's pretty janky. I don't think I'll see another 60+ tank this year as the weather is getting colder and that makes my MPGs TANK.

Nice one!

New here. Just did the math on my last fillup for my 1999 Dodge Caravan and got 498 miles from 18.593 gallons to avg 26.78 MPG.

Just started the hypermiling thing about a month ago. So far so good. My old lead foot avg was about 21mpg.

My goal is 30mpg from this beast.

26.8 MPG. It is a full-size truck, so not too bad. Just been doing some mild hypermiling (coasting in N, lower top speed, back-off on uphills, DWB as traffic permits). Used to get 22 MPG.

I'm going to sell it soon, so I won't be making any major mods. I may try an air dam and grill block just to see if there is an improvement . . .

1989 civic dx sedan. d15z1 motor with hf tranny. I just installed three days ago. Not sure of the mileage yet. My 02 sensor has been acting up so my reading is going to be off and the weather has been getting colder too.

That's a big change in total volume of fuel burned. Nice going.

I'm going to sell it soon

What's on your radar as a replacement?

I reached a new record three fills-up ago, reaching 38 mpg just by changing my driving style and using new routes, as the car is mainly stock. Before entering ecomodder, I could only manage 26 mpg (when I started my fuel log, more than a year ago).

The bad news is that I couldn't improve more becauser I've encountered a lot more traffic these days, aside from two car failures in a month. The first was that the cable connecting the gear stick to the 'box broke, so I was left in second gear. Then, yesterday I had a motor failure where cylinders 3 and 4 failed to run, so I'm waiting for the recovery and preparing for a large bill.

Just filled up and recorded my personal best of 52 MPG. I've got the tires at sidewall max pressure, and removed the power steering. The recent removal of power steering allowed me to jump across the 50 MPG mark, which was a major goal of mine.
