I think the next step for me is to try it around 65 MPH with the "pulse/glide" style method described in the stickys, and forget the cruise control. I can defiantly see how it would kill MPG after reading what loren was saying. However, I did try it at 60 MPH for 3 days, and I only went up to 39.8x MPG. I would have expected more at 60 MPH using the DFCO/gliding methods? Or is the CC really killing it that bad. Last edited by 4MPG; 12-13-2008 at 04:17 PM. |

Come over to a real city where we have more than 2 lanes.

Hahahaha! Well, I for one am learning to love going slower... Although I do maintain the legal speed limit (70 on the interstate here), I go no faster and try to adhere to 60 or lower on other roads; am also getting in the habit of coasting when possible and shifting into neutral when stopped at lights. I expect great mileage readings now that I'm out of third gear... Stay tuned!
