It's really not at hard. Or any feat. There are many people doing much more with less. I jut haven't met any here.... yet. I DID IT just because. Now I DO IT because I like it . I am not sure what is illegal about Hypermiling accoding to XXL...but the cops that have occasionally pulled behind on the highway after giving out a few tickets dont seem to mind at all.

The ladies tell me its the guys with the loudest exhaust, bigest HP engine, or red sports car always chirpin the tires are the ones making up for something...

I you really care. PM me. This thread is ong enough ..lol

 

WOW Didn't mean to start an epic battle. I forgot to read the owner's manual and didn't notice the sticker (DUH!) inside the fill-up hatch.

FYI, in Buffalo,
87 is $3.89
89 is $3.99
91 is $4.06
93 is $4.15

When I last filled up in PA, 93 was $3.81. I just wanted to hear what you guys were running and with what results.

Using 87 I can get low 30's on the highway if I keep it under 70. Round town, I'm getting 24. I occasionally "drop the hammer" for the sheer grin factor or to get in/out of traffic.

As for the "Green" discussion, I ride my bicycle to work.

Right on Jeda. My bike is my "real" performance vehicle, well bikes, since I own three. I use to ride my bike to work on the weekends (old job was 25 miles from my apartment) but alas my new job is 12.2 miles away now and they have showers i'd wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy.
Gas is cheap to me. I don't even read the price when I roll into the gas station.
Low 30's is pretty good at 70. I just finished my anti hypermile tank as i was driving home with my son. 39mph at 28mpg. Tomorrow i'll fill up with 94 and go back to hypermiling, It's been a little cooler so warm-ups will take longer, and ill have to up the pressure in my tires. But i am way, way better at this after 500 miles. Maybe i can crack 37 overall. The real money saved is by the gallons that I don't use, not by the price of gas. Driving an extra 125 miles per tank adds up much faster then $0.25 per gallon...lol

Although it looked like a battle, my absurd mileage thread has over 2000 views, so somebody cares about mileage....It will really twist their noodles when i hypermile my SS with a full hahn kit. That will bring a new meaning to drop the hammer.
