Welcome to CleanMPG

[Bob&Reena]

We (wife & I) recently bought a 2007 Prius and have about 500 miles on it.

I saw an AP article in the Las Cruces NM Sun-News on May 30, 2007, titled "Hypermilers". I read it and found that it included this web site, cleanmpg.com run by Wayne Gerdes.

I checked the site out yesterday, registered, read Wayne's article on Hypermiling, and tried out "Pulse Glide", "Warp Stealth", etc. and found they work great and provide considerable increase to my fuel economy (FE). I also had some questions which Wayne quickly answered by email.

I am very impressed with the site and how it is run and will be visiting often.

Couple of years ago on my Dallas to Colorado Springs trip, I met someone in the Texas Panhandle hailing from Raton, NM. He was hauling a couple of tons of A/C equiement with his Ford F350, but on his time he drive a Prius and gets about 45mpg in the Southern Rockies - not bad at all.

I had already resigned myself to driving at or below the speed limit when gas prices exceded $2.50 in my previous car, a Pontiac Vibe. Actually this was a big step for me to go Honda. We were all raised on GM vehicles (I think Dad's belt buckle even says General Motors) and I was driving my 4th Pontiac.

But the time had come for a change...Honda made a great deal for me and so here we are!!

I'm beginning to get the hang of hypermiling...it is easier when I am alone in the car. Visiting with passengers tends to distract me from my training...old habits can come back when I'm distracted.

I love pulling onto the highway with a downhill in the front window. Really love the Auto Stop...it was the idling that killed the mpg on the Vibe.

What I love the most is driving by the gas station and waving at everyone else!

Post up okie mom. Ive seen you lurking. Let us know how you are doing. Pro or Con. Driving in Oklahoma can be a pain with our undeing winds and such. Not to mention the rain we have had of late. Also some of our very best drivers are ladys. Im sure they would love chatting with you.

Hi everyone. First post on this forum.

I drive a 98 Golf (2.0 L gasser) and I've been tracking my mileage since May 2005 on my home-made spreadsheet. I'm from Canada and think in L/100 km so that's all I've calculated! My best mileage has been 6.67 L/100 km on the highway and worst has been 10.4 in the city (but that's when I was barely driving, lots of short trips). Overall average of 8.73 L/100 km.

Hopefully I can use some hypermiling techniques to boost that up before I sell my car in February, only ride my bike, and get unlimited mpg!

Hi MattCass:

___Welcome to CleanMPG and if you have not seen the Mileage Data Base yet, click on the mileage logs link above. You can view the entire list in Metric, Imperial or US gallons if you wish. Once you start inputting tanks, the rest comes naturally

___Good Luck and welcome.
