Re: Your HCH driving technique
As one of the 50+mpg crowd, I have to commend you for getting 42 under your driving conditions. I know that stop and go, especially on hills, are death to mega mpg. I must also commend you for not going insane with such a daily commute.

And I only have to buy gas once a week, and the highest I've paid has been $21. and something change- Hooray!!!
My killer is my daily commute- over the Bay Bridge (total stop and go) and into and across San Francisco every morning. The hills, the traffic- it's not the easiest route in the world (and man, those stop lights and signs heading up the hills just kill me!)
But, 42 mpg makes me pretty happy. To all you 50+, way to go. I can't wait for my first long drive out of the hills to see how well my car can really do.
