YKYAHM when it takes you a moment to realise that you can also pass, not just be passed

...When you have to change the shut off time of your MPGuino to 10 minutes, because you started EOCing for more that the 7 minute preset time.

It should stay on if it gets speed or injector signal.

No speed signal, and engine off for more than 7 minutes. I've been only using the GPH, trip total, and tank total function on my MPGuino.

Edit- My Jetta has a mechanical speedo.

You know you're a hypermiler if:

You've ever been passed by a Prius

You shift into neutral to speed up

You can drive for 10 minutes without touching the gas pedal (or using cruise control)

This part of the country is far too flat for that.
