i, too, have a 40 mile commute, which i can do 90% on the highway. i almost always drive between 55-60
MPH, never over that no matter that i am being passed like crazy. i watch my pulse and glide, doing that even on small dips, it really helps. when i am really in the mood to up the MPG, i take the back roads, which i am lucky to have as an option, sounds like you don't, tim. i coast a lot of the hills in neutral (don't trust turning the engine off), and drive about 45 all the way home. other than that, i am just lucky. even before my HCH, i have been able somehow to nurse a lot of good MPG out of my hondas.......an 85 accord, which i miss.....my 93 civic, which hubby is still driving. the only one that gave me fits was the CRV.
you are still doing better than about 90% of the population, and at least you care
