Delighted to break the 50 MPG barrier!

[STC]

Thanks guys!

I think what helped was maintaining my MPH speed between 47 and 52 for around 3/4 of the trip. This MPH zone is between 2,000 and 2,300 RPM (5th gear) in my car. I think this is the magic numbers for FE because of the lower RPM and lower wind resistance when it comes down to your MPH speed?

I used half neutral glides and half DFCO glides. Practically all my neutral glides were on the long grades of Interstate I-78 towards Allentown, PA. The section was great for this.... I was able to maintain my speed at around 55 MPH down the grade. On all off ramps short glides, I used DFCO to come to a stop. I also used DFCO on all the rural, state, and US roads...

I would not label myself as a hypermiler. Maybe a 'novice hypermiler'! LOL!

I do know I will be picking up either Scanguage II or Ecometer in the near future. Does anyone know if SGII can give you an average MPH speed in a trip? I would guestimate my average speed for the trip (highway) was around 50 MPH...

Cheers!
