Default HCH2 Second Tank Dissapointing too

58.6 MPG.

It's been very warm and dry here in Southern California.
I'm sure my MPG would have been much higher in my 2004 HCH1 CVT AT-PZEV, which is fully broken in after 37 tanks. (It's now for sale.)
I once got a 66.6 MPG tank out of that car and this time I was trying much harder than that.

I really pulled out ALL the stops this tank.
It was a LOT of trouble.

Sure 58.6 is good, but break in must be MUCH more of a factor than I anticipated.



I think I'm not going to try so hard and just wait for the thing to break in.
Plus, I got my HOV stickers and will be in the carpool lane from time to time.
If I go too much under 65 I will be shot.

Need fewer troops to support.
Drive a hybrid.
Best tank 71.65 MPG.

Before this car I spent two years learning hypermiling on my 2004 HCH1.
