Default Re: Madison Hybrid Group – Next Get Together - September 17th.

Hi Wayne,

I was the 4th driver for the P&G "class" Eric organized. It was a pretty nice 2-mile segment, I think 1 stop sign and a turn-around in a parking lot. I drove Jan's prius and nailed a 91-MPG segment, but I already knew the technique. What I think was more impressive was Jan doing 72.6! I think she was at 48 for the 18-mile trip to the meeting, and she was eager to keep practicing.

I'm still laughing at the prius-prius-HUMMER-insight picture (mine's the one on the left). Thanks for a great meeting.

On a side note, I'm still fighting for the elusive 60. I had it once by calculated, but never by MFD. Currently very near the end of a tank at 57.5 (520 miles). I know P&G, tires at 42/40, speed limit or less.... I think at this point it is the short trips (less than 10 miles) that are keeping me away from 60.

Just slightly annoyed because at this rate it will take 10 more tanks to be a lifetime hypermiler (longer because of winter).
