New! 2007 Toyota Matrix, 36.5mpg!!

[m6soto]

Hi all,

Boy am I glad to have heard about the group! I saw it being discussed in the latest issue of Reader's Digest. (Way to go Wayne! Congrats on the win. ;-))

I've been a wannabe hypermiler but never knew it. I drive an 07 Matrix, red, automatic. I've always strived for better fuel economy. See my fuel economy below before I hypermiled officially, by following advice I found on here...

Pre-hypermiling:
Max: 34.5mpg
Min: 29.6mpg
Avg: 31.0mpg

Now after my first hypermiled tank?

36.5mpg!! SIMPLY AMAZING!!! Combined EPA for my car under the new 08 standards is 27mpg. So Pre-hypermiling is 115% of EPA. Post Hypermiling is 135% of EPA!

Holy !@#$#$!#!

Happy 2 be a Hypermiler!! ;-)
