Broke my longtime MPG & mileage goal
Hi, this is my first post here at gassavers.
I followed a link here from friends of mine, krousdb, philmcneal and decided to join. I've been training in hypermiling since Feb '04 and finally broke my long time goal: Driver: Hot Georgia Miles: 1003.4 Gallons: 13.4 Model Year: 2004 Model: Civic Hybrid Tranny: CVT Fuel type: 87 Regular MPG: 74.9 Additives: none Speed: About 55 average Road: 95% highway Average trip: 47 miles Beginning ODO 74,823 Ending ODO 75,827 Terrain: Very hilly to/from Atlanta to/from rural N. GA PSI: 51PSI all the way around (Cold sidewall Max) Tire: Factory LRR Dunlops (About ready for new skins) Oil: 0-20w Honda dealer stuff A/C: None https://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/data/504/70_1003.jpg Whew! I'm ready for another one! I've also been active around the net showing folks they can dramatically improve MPG in what ever they currently drive. Glad I found this website. -Steve |
Nice tank! Welcome to the site.
How close were you to running out of gas? |
Finally you showed up! Welcome Steve!
|
Hurray! Another GA member! Sign up for the GasSavers FRAPPR so we don't look so all alone down here!
Congrats on getting a 1000 mile tank...I'm trying hard for a 500 mile tank (10 gallons)! |
Hi Steve,
Impressive mileage. I've seen some of your posts around the net pre-CMPG and GS. I'm afraid if I were to try for a 1000 mile tank, it would be December before you heard from me again. Don't drive that much :) Welcome to the site! |
Welcome and Well done man!
Jeez I would just be happy with a 500 mile tank but I think that is unattainable with this car. Maybe the next though.... Again great job! |

Could it simply be the tire pressure or have you really broken in the engine very well - Outrageous Mileage MAN!! Nice Going!

Thanks for the warm welcome! :thumbup:

In the past I've driven +25 miles past showing empty but didn't want to risk running out the next day. (I've never ran out) Thanks again! -Steve |
Welcome Welcome!
It's guys like you that make me consider getting a hybrid. |
Steve,
You need to go into your garage and change your vehicle type from gasoline to hybrid. It's difficult enough competing with Aero Civics and crazy Metro pilots.:p |
Welcome Steve! Awesome job! It's numbers like that that pretty well make up my mind that I need to get a HCH2 if I ever get enough money together.:( After going with Tom, Wayne, and Tony to the meeting in Oak Creek, WI a couple of weeks ago, I came to the conclusion that my type of driving would be better suited to the Honda instead of the Prius. If I lived in a big city I would probably go with the Prius. My dream would be to have an Insight but there are 4 in my family and they wouldn't fit.:( Again, awesome numbers. Next goal is 1,100 or 1,200?:)

I'm thinking that the 5MT HCH-1 has more hypermiling potential than the CVT HCH-II. I think that Wayne would agree. A used HCH-1 might replace the VX some day, unless I can find a diesel hybrid instead.

2005 I think. in addition to the 5 speed, it also had lean burn. The HCH-1 CVT does not have lean burn. The HCH-II only comes with CVT and does not have lean burn either.
