Default Re: Hypermilers Attempting FE Record in a Honda Insight

I was back for the Insight marathon relay team, but my official duties were the "pit crew" and reporting, not the driving. Kind of glad, as I know the pulse and glide, but not at the level of the team driving. Had fears of doing to them what A-Rod has done so far in the playoffs.

Did a couple of runs on the course, once with coaching, and another on my own Sunday when the winds were bad. Had 1.2L (196mpg) segments, but it was in the easier parts. Briefly experienced 200mpg.

They have already gone farther on a 14-gallon tank than anybody else - 1543miles? They may go 2200 miles or so and get 170mpg when it's all said and done.

.

60.3mpg lifetime - 71mpg in winter months
