NICE-on vs FAS question

[some_other_dave]

I bet that question could be answered for a lot of individuals by looking at their fuel logs. For instance, here's mine:



The green trace is when I started hypermiling. I used to average just under 30 MPG, I think, before that. You can see a lot of "noise" (ups and downs), but the general trend upward is quite clear, and I wound up averaging 42 MPG over that span of 4 years. Most tanks in the last two years were 40 MPG or better.

Hi Crt1:

You are talking about your Fit right? If it is a long downhill and she will hold Fuel Cut (above ~ 1,100 RPM in gear and slowing or maintaining speed all the way to the bottom, just leave it in gear and allow engine breaking all the way to the stop. You can downshift as it falls below the target R’s to maintain it almost all the way to a stop.

Wayne, Yes, the FIT. Thanks for the tip. I will try this out.
