[MetroMPG]

Update: here's who is currently riding their "personal best" fillup, as shown in their gas logs...

Nice work peoples! This is hard to do in the winter.

Gary Palmer ... Whoop's Wheel's (Honda Wagovan) ... 37.84 ... 01/26/2007

Gary - what's your car's combined EPA figure? It's not in your garage entry (or on the chart.)

Jack ... Visual Xcrement (VX) ... 52.59 ... 01/25/2007

Jack, you're doing great. Gotta love the slope of the "tail" on your gaslog.

zpiloto ... Por Gratis (Maxima) ... 37.95 ... 01/25/2007

(Nice work, z. This one's way higher than your average.)

skewbe ... another Green Machine (98 Metro) ... 42.74 ... 01/28/2007

Go skwebe!

No love for my latest 54.51? *cries*

[MetroMPG]

Yeah, don't know why that didn't come up on the magic page Matt made for me. He must have "AND NOT(User="SVOboy")" in the query

Well, I'll just have to tear it up next time I'm home. Though I don't want to go back...Need to figure out what parts I should look for while I'm in Japan...

Thanks. Wont see my name on that list again until atleast April. I put on snow tires (I tried it once without them and it was not a pretty sight). I can't coast worth a crap with them.

Good job everyone else!

repete86 just posted a tank of over 50 mpg in his gaslog but no info about it at all.. tell us what you did to pick up so much.

[repete86]

I overinflated the tires to 50 psi (really stupid since the max psi is 35 in these things), kept the speed at 52 mph, it was a hot day, I didn't have any of the luggage in it that I would normally have since I wasn't traveling for work, I just had the engine tuned up, removed the side mirrors (just for this trip), and was being passed by alot of trucks on alligator alley.

To be honest, I'm not even sure about what make it jump so much. I have my good trips and my bad trips and my gaslog is all over the place. This one turned out to be a great trip. There was almost no city driving at all.

I just noticed this thread . My personal best came on 1/11/2007 @ 54.1mpg. Fallen a bit since due to a harsh winter that finally started.
edit: update, I just had a tank at 56.29 mpg!
