Default Re: Hypermilers Attempting FE Record in a Honda Insight

My calculations were 20mph as stated above.

Things that made this more difficult. They didn't run non stop. So every morning they were starting on a cold engine. 2) winds were rough on all but 1 day out of the 9 or so.

They did have the advantage that I don't think there was that much rain if any. And I'm pretty sure on the prius attempt they had a little rain.

BTW, did you know a girl in Japan beat the total miles on a tank in a prius this summer?
