Hi, just purchased a ScanGauge II and looking forward to using this tool to improve the performance of my 2004 Mazda Miata. Also interested in gaining knowledge from all the experience on this forum. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to join.

I'm a new member of CleanMPG and am extremely excited to start hypermiling! I stumbled onto this site and a few others on hypermiling about two weeks ago and started reading all of the great MPG tips; I just had to try them. My commute is 100% city driving and is only 5.1 miles each way, so not a long time to warm the engine up (though in Florida, I think the engine is probably close to warm at crank). I'm actually in the process of actively searching for a more fuel efficient car for myself (I have my eye on a 2004 Corolla LE with 40k miles). But for now, I have a 2002 Subaru Forester. I took the roof rack cross bars off the top, pumped my tires up to 42psi (rated for 44, but owner's manual says 32) and have been practicing NICE-on whenever possible and shutting off completely at long lights. My previous six tanks have yielded an average of 19.8mpg 100% city, but for the last 123 miles of this most recent 288 mile fill-up (13.1 usgal), I tried these new methods. I calculate that for those last 123 miles, I must have averaged nearly 25.8mpg!! That's a 30%+ improvement!

My wife drives a 2008 Honda Civic LX and we're going to try some techniques in that car too! Who knows, maybe we'll get over 45mpg without buying a Hybrid!

45 mpg would be easy. All you need is one car to get 22 mpg and the other to get 23 mpg. That would equal 45 mpg, right ?

All kidding aside , welcome to cleanmpg. You are on the right track.

Hi Clean MPG nation!

I will strart whit the fact that i am a french canadian so i will do my best to be understand by you. First i'm in the 30's and i had always looking at my mpg but since five years i'm working at over 45 milles from my home and my mpg biggins to be an obsession. So, since 5 days i'm searching on the web some help to improve my mpg and i've found you. Now i'm riding an old saturn sl 1.9L 1999 stock with over 150 000 milles of life and i'm already made regulary 50 mpg with it but i know i can do better. I have a Chevrolet colorado 2.8L 2006 too and i made 27 mpg (not very good) but i'm not go to the work whit it. I search to learn from the experience from the members and maybe i'll found some quebecer who have already deal whith ower rough winters.

Thanks for reading me

Bonjour et bienvenue sur CleanMPG.
Vous êtes venus au bon endroit.
Je suis en UK sorte s'il vous plaît excuser mon Français - tout le monde est très utile ici. On dirait que vous avez grand mpg.
Avez-vous lu le CleanMPG Primer?

I don't envy your winter - we've had 2 bad ones in a row but they were exceptional
