Replying to: jefferyg (Aug 15, 2007 11:06 am) I filled mine yesterday to reset the trip odometer and get a baseline. The dealer reset the trip when they filled it prior to delivery but I don't know just how they filled it. Based on mi/odo it got about 33.2 in mixed use but that was only on 4.5 gallons so not enough to be very accurate. My usual system is to use the A odo on every fill and the B to accumulate a half dozen or so and then calculate an overall figure. I find that more accurate than the individual calculations.

Replying to: blufz1 (Aug 16, 2007 12:01 pm) Any idea of the mileage difference between 55, 65 and 75? I'm getting a stupid urge to take a trip somewhere just to find out.

Replying to: blufz1 (Aug 16, 2007 1:33 pm) As I've said before, I can't wait until we get some cooler weather to see what kind of difference running with no A/C makes. With the 100+ temps we've been having over the past week and a half, I've had to run the A/C on Max almost constantly.

Replying to: jefferyg (Aug 16, 2007 9:20 pm) I usually drive under the speed limits at night without cruse control in my area, due to the animals on the road and light traffic. This results in considerable mileage improvement, from around 45 mpg daytime to near 50 at night over the same 100 mile stretch.

Replying to: ras314 (Aug 17, 2007 4:16 am) Dude, what are you driving? That's incredible - day or night. I totally agree with you on the cruise control. I took about a 165 mile trip yesterday evening. I watched the tach and tried to keep it at or below 2000 rpm. I still had well over half a tank when I got home. However, my wife is driving the car to school today. She can negate my 165 miles of frugality with one 15 mile round trip to school.  A hybrid would probably do very well on her daily commute. The trip she makes each day is constant stop and go, uphill and down on mostly backroads.
