Second segment complete; 33.43MPG over 325 miles. This tank included two trips in driving rain plus several less-than-optimum commutes, so I'm not surprised the figure is down a little.
But, I've been thinking...
Before this test, I was doing P&Gs with the transmission in neutral. Since I wasn't (and still am not) sure how safe that is for my automatic, I decided to try keeping it in "drive" for a while to see how closely I could approach the "N" numbers by feathering the accelerator during glides. I made that change about the time I did the first V-Power fill.
I thought I was getting nearly the same figures in "D", but that doesn't seem reasonable. So maybe not; perhaps the V-Power is contributing a little extra and canceling the loss?
Therefore, on this tank I'm going back to "NICE-ON" P&G to see what happens to the numbers.
