Double check EPA FE ratings for your car.....
Been struggling to keep / get back my hypermiler status through winter.
Double checked my EPA fuel economy numbers and found out I had the wrong numbers in my garage entry. I had the numbers for a 1.5l 5-speed CRX 34 / 39/ 36 I just updated with the correct numbers for my 1.5l Auto 30 / 37 / 33 I recommend all to double check their EPA ratings, it gave me a BIG bump in percent above EPA. |

I have gone over mine many times, hoping that in California, the EPA estimate would be lower so that I could get a little jump in my EPA (California emissions requirements often result in lower EPA ratings). Are you using the "Old School" or "New School" EPA figures? I am guessing old school by the numbers in your garage. CarloSW2 |

Are those considered old or new? |
Those are old, find the old vs new thread for a link to the corrected version.

You probably just got the auto and manual transissions mixed up. My values are still 44/49/46.

Site is not working for me at the moment. I will check it out later and see if my numbers changed or not.

Read this thread for the scoop : Comparing Old and New EPA MPG Estimates https://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=2821 If you go new school, you will see almost a doubling in your % over EPA. CarloSW2 |

Hopefully be able to keep my hypermiler status through winter and then see a good jump come the warmer months. |
Wow, quite the difference for me
Old - 30 / 33 / 37 New - 26 / 29 / 33 |
