Default Re: Occasional Fuel Economy Problem with my HCHII

What about the rpm situation? Again, depending on when and how I let off the accelerator and re-apply (timing) I get different results and can end up at a differnt rpm/CVT gear ratio. From what I can tell, this is the biggest factor on getting the mpg meter up, as it will not go above 50 mpg with the rpms above some level above 1500rpms. The rpms have to be extremely low to get into the very high mpg range.
