Cost per month NOT mile

[ihatemybike]

Green Loan $0, Ins $50, Gas $85x2 $170 = Total $220
Grumpy Loan $0, Ins $25, Gas $85 = $65
Eugene Loan $255, Ins $75, Gas $65x4 $260 = $590

i contacted my local paper about this subject (and hypermiling) and was told that they are working on a "big" story about a hypermiler from melbourne, florida.

one word, BOGUS!

he says he gets 30 mpg(23 to 53) more than EPA. well he's comparing(new EPA) hwy vs combined mileage, and we all know the new estimates are easily beatable.

dropping 100 lbs can add 2% to economy. REALLY?

he underfills his oil pan? what a 'tard!

his gas tank is only half-filled? can we trust his presumably uncalibrated scangauge?
