Since there was some interest in my last post regarding my trip statistics leaving work on the way home in the middle of the night,
I thought that some might possibly think that my road to home is mostly downhill, which it is not.
Each way is basically a staircase of hills, with the peak about half way and lasting about 5 miles.
So today I brought my voice recorder along and made these notes. I reset the trip meter in the driveway, leaving for work at 4:30PM.
A thunderstorm had moved through the area a few hours before but the roads were mostly dried up and there was no wind to speak of, temps mid 60’s:

0MPG @ 0Miles In my driveway
40.8MPG @ 1 Mile
46.5MPG @ 2 Miles
53MPG @ 3 Miles
54.1MPG @ 4 Miles
52.6MPG @ 5 Miles
53MPG @ 6 Miles
54.5MPG @ 10 Miles
56.7MPG @ 15 Miles
59MPG @ 20 Miles
59.4MPG @ 23.4 Miles, about to get onto 65MPH limit freeway
60.1MPG @ 25 Miles
60.5MPG @ 30 Miles
61.3MPG @ 35 Miles
61.6MPG @ 40 Miles
63.4MPG @ 43 Miles, exiting freeway onto 5:30PM rush hour Atlanta city traffic.
62.8MPG @ 45 Miles
62.8MPG @ 45.2 Miles after climbing 4 stories of parking deck, parking and shut-down.

Note that because of the daytime traffic and not caught in a lengthy jam there was no reboot, which I routinely do in specific segments on my return trip home posted earlier.

These figures are my typical statistics.
If I had to drive under the earlier thunderstorm & rain I’d likely parked with 55-60MPG. If a strong head wind would have prevailed I’d likely park in the lower 50’s. Strong tailwind could bring almost 70MPG, as posted in my signature below.

I suspect that the rest of us who are in the upper 50’s tank average have about the same statistics?

Efficient drivers do it better.
