Replying to: nippononly (Mar 20, 2009 9:43 pm) Wow, tonight's fill-up was even better than the last: 389 miles, 8.75 gallons, that's 44.5 mpg! That's 44 mpg average over the last 835 miles, which I call darn good!   Bet I couldn't do better in the new Insight.....

And of course youd have to spend $20,000 + to buy an Insight before you could start "saving." Replies to this message: highmiler650 (Apr 02, 2009 11:20 am)

Replying to: kneisl1 (Apr 02, 2009 9:15 am) Exactly! A used Echo or Yaris makes more sense to me when it comes to saving!

Well heck Im always here! My 2001 has 44k miles on it and the 2000 auto I bought for my son for $3000 last year has 124,000 miles. (started at 116k) Runs like a top too!
#307 of 345 just checking in by nippononly Apr 22, 2009 (12:34 pm)
last fill-up was 374 miles, 8.9 gallons, so 42 mpg right on the nose. The little Echo just keeps chugging along, 118K now, still no repairs ever and no maintenance beyond oil changes in the last 12 months. The spark plugs and air filter come due around 125K, and it will need tires right after that, so it may be that I will choose to sell it instead of do the maintenance, which will cost more than $500 including the tires.   We will see.
#308 of 345 Still love my little car by mnman Apr 26, 2009 (7:20 pm)
Spring is here in the midwest and my mileage is up, I got 54 mpg on a 180 mile trip to the lake and 50 on the way back, according to the ScanGauge. It seems accurate to me. I bought the car in 03 for a pittance $5800 w/26k miles. It has 115,000 miles on it now and is just broke in. I hope to be hitting the road more often and my goal is to wring out 300,000 miles out of it. If you want a cruise, check out the Rostra.

www.fueleconomy.gov     Gp to this site and click on the lower left where it says Your Mpg. You can keep a running record of your MPG and keep it for ever and for others to see.
#310 of 345 How?!? by electrify May 02, 2009 (6:02 pm)
How are you guys recording 40+ MPG when filling up?!? When I hypermile the hell out of my car (shift to park at red lights, slow and smooth acceleration, driving the speed limit - which is 100km/h (62MPH) where I am, releasing throttle at certain points to upshift sooner, tire pressure at max, etc), and most of the time I get 37 to 38 MPG max!!! I work as a courier, so I end up bringing my car in each month for oil changes and regular maintenance.   Are you guys using manual transmissions or coasting in neutral? The only time I've ever recorded over 40 MPG was by shifting into neutral when approaching red lights or going down hills. I stopped though, since I heard it could be bad for the engine from most sources.   I really need to buy a Scanguage Replies to this message: dephinusorca (May 02, 2009 7:07 pm) electrify (May 03, 2009 7:32 am)
