Woo hoo! Got 30.22 mpg in my minivan!

Background:

1. Old EPA MPG: 18 City, 24 Highway, 20 Combined
2. New EPA MPG: 16 City, 22 Highway, 18 Combined

Overall AVERAGE mpg from 6/12/2008 to 6/15/2008 was _30.22 mpg_ over a total of 170 miles driven. I thought I would never beat my previous record of 28.32 mpg but I ended up just proving myself wrong.

Compared to Old EPA Combined, I achieved a 61.1% increase in MPG. Compared to Old EPA Highway, I achieved a 25.9% increase in MPG. Compared to New EPA Combined, I achieved a 67.9% increase in MPG. Compared to New EPA Highway, I achieved a 37.4% increase in MPG. This was all possible in a gasoline non-hybrid un-modified engine in a minivan. So just in case you're a minivan driver too, I hope that I'm a glimmer of hope that it _is_ possible to hypermile even a minivan. Good luck!

Currently, I'm just using driving habit method for trying to hypermile. In this day and age of pretty much psychotically high gas prices, you'd probably be psychotic if you WEREN'T trying to hypermile. I'd like to thank the current members as well as the past members who has contributed their part into what makes Gassavers.org the awesome site it is.
