last time he posted was 7/13. i hope i'm wrong but i think he just came here to post his amazing results then moved on.

I'd be interested to know how often his vehicle travels above 40 mph or 64 km/h.

Rarely, and not for long periods, I think.

(And I'd like to see a more detailed log too!)

Cat and Alvaro make good points, it would be good to know how relevant the speeds Daniel M travels at. If it can't keep with traffic and is too slow, its kind of a useless execise, like the 10000 mpg experiment that don't go over 15 mph and can't carrry anything.

Everything depends on the environment, sometimes you don't even have to keep up with the traffic, because that's almost non-existent On winter mornings I could easily do 50-60km/h (31-37mph) along the road 811 (in Hungary), because at 6am the best unit to measure following distance was km. And I had to go that slow because it was already cold enough on the bike without going faster

Anyway, if I remember well, he always mentioned city riding, and not of the fast kind.

Daniel M posted a few a times after he first joined, I didn't realize he only had one tankfill . Too bad, I guess he's just drop off the list due to inactivity. This is why I have great respect for veteran hypermilers (like Cat, Alvaro, Basjoos, PalePal and other frequent posters ) that list every tankfill in their garage so that you can see their progress, consistency, and info on what happened that tankfill.

He should drop off the list once he's gone 90 days without a fillup.

Though he should have a long fuel log by now after he mentioned that he fills up from a 0.5l PET bottle - just imagine the many short 'tank' entries

I believe in long, detailed, comprehensive logs

[Jay2TheRescue]

LOL, short tank entries. Sounds like a former roommate of mine. He insisted his Buick got 20 MPG, but only when the tank was filled halfway. Said the car only got 13 MPG if he filled it all the way.

It looks llike its time for this one tank wonder to adios, last entry 6/11
