Default Re: Driving Style and MPG

My only modification to my driving style has been not using the A/C, but everything else has remained the same.

I drove 2-3 miles per hour under the speed limit before I had a hybrid, with my '98 Dakota pickup. The largest difference is having an instantaneous MPG readout, I wish all vehicles had one.

And what does "skewing" the numbers really mean? Compared to EPA, Consumer Reports, or Edmunds? Or what the real world gets here at GreenHybrid?
Looking at the 5-speed Insight section of the database, I wonder how some people manage the lowest numbers. But each person has different driving conditions. That's what makes it real world.

Regards,
