#86 of 87 hyper-miling Forester by 10years Jun 21, 2008 (7:26 am)
03 Forester, 4 EAT, 83 K miles. Last year, June 2007, I'd been averaging about 25.5 mpg. But now I'm averaging a touch better than 28 mpg over the last three fill-ups. Although I'm not a hyper-miling purist, I've kinda of: 1. Inflated tires a couple pounds more than the door placard shows. 2. Slowed down to not exceed speed limits very much and mostly stay in the right lane. 3. Look far ahead to anticipate conditions to better to take advantage of coasting and light touch braking to minimize full dead stops and starts. 4. Go light on the accelerator. On the downside my 26 mile compute time is extended about 5 minutes and the brakes have developed a light squeal. Have Fun, Ted Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 24, 2008 12:29 pm)
