Almost all highway miles - and used pulse & glide fairly often. Needed to top off the car before I loaned it to friends driving to Ohio for Thanksgiving. I'll be very interested in what they get for mileage!

75% highway, 25% urban (Manhattan - awful slowness) & suburban. Increased 'pulse & glide' use and it did improve MFD mileage on identical trips. But the city crawls really hurt mpg.

Aha moment: What I thought was the effect of cooler weather to depress my mileage was rather the LACK of traffic congestion. It turns out that heavier traffic improved my mileage by forcing me to 'pulse & glide' more. I am now looking at using that technique more when possible. 10% urban driving.
