May 20 2010

Long trip with freeway 2-up, luggage - this time I really went up to the legal 130. We also got rain and the air was colder too. No wonder this tank is so bad, still I'm not happy with it at all... Had a P&G commute after it, but did not help eno

Long distance ride with freeways, 2-up and luggage, used 110 and 130 stages and it still took almost 4 hours :-/ Shorter ones and the city of Debrecen in rain. Weather was colder (~10C) and still windy.

Colder weather, sometimes strong side/headwind (both Yolanda and an unnamed storm got us), mostly 2-up, contains freeway @ up to 120-130 km/h. Trip back from Pladány, a Budapest visit with getting a new belt...

Totally mixed 2-up rides through 4/M35/35/backroads and city riding in Debrecen. Ranging from very short (200km) trips. Much 90+, 110 and 130 where approppriate. Losing speed mostly by coasting.

Winter, usually 2-up rides, often wet road. Much less P&G, but possibly never exceeded 100km/h (80 is _much_ more typical). Mostly twisty roads and villages and some in-city. Professional plastic water cooler cover installed :)

Closer to freezepoint by the minute (hit zero once) - may need a larger piece of radiator cover, but I don't plan on riding under 0C. Struggling to keep her under 3l/100km...

Weather is a bit warmer again, even 10C is not that rare (one morning it was 3C though). We got pretty much rain and fog instead. Sometimes I'm fed up with P&G... the beginning of the end? :o

Weather is colder again, 5C and under are typical temps. Had a 2*100km 2-up ride to Kisláng, with higher speeds (steady 110-120 on the freeway) and much less P&G. Another one with 30 in the city and up to 110 between Zámoly and Szfv.

Somewhat warmer and pretty dry weather. ~100km 2-up, the rest is normal commute. 70-90/100 P&G with some 120-130 peaks. Back to the original route: I don't want to FAS with cold engine now, and it's shorter and steeper.

Sep 29 2009

New, somewhat longer route to prolong first FAS - it's better in absolute terms, not just at the average. At least at dawn, without traffic. Less high-speed pulses (~120km/h max at that), mostly 70-90 or 70-100, took advantage of a few more FAS opportunities

22km city practicing, 400+km freeway commuting. Took an unorthodox approach on P&G - no strict 70/90 (though the majority is 70/90), many pulses went over 100, a few even reached 130.

300km of commute *miling, then a tour on mountain roads of Pilis. I'm afraid I can't leave hypermiling at home anymore... so another personal best. Morning temps are getting lower, even down to 9-10C. No ill effect yet.

Basically all of the 526.9km (327.4 miles) is hypermiling. Cruising speed was usually ~45-50mph. Backroads and deserted superslabs are good and safe this way, but freeways with traffic are a bit of strain on the nerves... One experiment on NICE-Off

Most of it is a trip to Hegyestu"+Tihany. Techniques: all of the above, except that I was seldom hiding behind the windscreen. Many twisty roads, and a little bit of gravel road in a forest.
