Default Rising FE Standards
  • I was happy when my 1st car, a 1972 AMC Gremlin got over 15mpg
  • I was happy when my college car, a 1974 Opel Manta sedan got over 20mpg and a whopping 30mpg on the highway once.
  • I was happy when my 1974 Civic (and 1972 1200 Datsun) got 50mpg
  • I was happy when my 1986 Honda CRX HF got 60mpg on a good run
  • I was happy when my 1988 Honda CRX HF got 76mpg once and in general when it got 60mpg on a good run before the tune up that nearly killed it (40 mpg after that. )
  • I'm happy when my 2000 Insight gets over 80mpg - feel horrible when it goes under 50mpg
Anyone else have a similar pattern?

.

61.5mpg lifetime - 82mpg in recent months
