Default Re: How to calculate MPG

As one who achieved 80+ MPG for about 16 minutes (about 4.5 miles of driving) in the city with about a dozen starts/stops, on my TCH's first tank of gas, I can safely say there is room to boost your 31ish MPG average.

How do you calculate the 80+ MPG in 16 minutes? My non-NAV display will only show ECO drive level up to 40 MPG.

However, with that being said, most of the time I'm getting 36 to 40 MPG in the city. I've found that the biggest difference between my getting GOOD mileage and GREAT mileage is the technique I use. Most of the time, it's just not worth my trouble to get the extra MPGs.

Pulse and Glide? Can you point me to some of these techniques so I can study up and practice? (Remember - I'm a newby )
