Small Success

[Ladogaboy]

Just wanted to share a small success: I just averaged 27 mpg for an entire tank worth of mixed driving (340 mi). So not bad, as it's 42% over EPA estimated combined mileage for my car.

I call it "small" because it's not really one of my milestones (first on the list being sustained > 30 mpg highway), but it is a significant mark because I've worked pretty hard for it. Ironically, the improvement came more from my city driving than from highway, but it still had enough of an affect on the tank to push me over the 27 mpg mark.

Congrats. Its a step in the right direction, right? If you look at a lot of the guy's mileage logs here you'll see a steady rise in mileage even over years of driving. Its usually not one huge jump.

For sure. That's why I'm trying to set some "baby steps" type goals. I hit 340 miles on that last tank, and I'm thinking that hitting 400 would be pretty sweet. In time...

Small successes add up quick!!! Keep on it, make it a game, make it interesting, keep track of your progress and itll be more fun and easier to do. Keep up updated!
