Hi Basjoos:

___“Driving w/ Load” works to the tune of ~ 50% above EPA estimates in the Acura MDX and ~ 36% in the Toyota Corolla LE at their maximums. Neither of these automobiles have lean burn capability in the least. The MDX’s game gauge just like the Insight clearly shows the advantage of using this technique vs. steady and gas sucking cruise.

___I cannot wait to get a full tank in an 04 Accord or Camry 4 w/ Auto to see what they are actually capable of out on the highway using the “Driving w/ Load” technique as well. The Accord EX w/ NAVI does have a game gauge so I am going to take an I4 out for a drive next week just to satisfy my own curiosity as I have only driven the Accord non-NAVI for a short trip so far. That is if my local Honda dealer has an EX 4 w/ NAVI to take out for a half hour or so …

___Good Luck
