I hope to one day post about my Prius achieving 70 MPG. I see that you have close to 20k miles. That's very encouraging because I only have 2,700 miles and I'm getting 57 MPG. I will try to stay off highways as you have done.

Wow man, congrats! That is a huge number you just put up, and even more impressive is the trip into your tank archive and watching it just shoot upwards as you nail down techniques. Very encouraging!

Thanks everybody. I know it is silly, but 69 is nice, but 70 is so much better

Michael -- P&G is helping, but there are a number of factors that made this tank, and some of them are transient ..

Usually my wife shares in the driving
Cold weather is coming
I'm going to be more careful with yellow lights in the future .. I promise

Hi EricGo:

___Congratulations! There are Insight owners that would love to have achieved that kind of FE over a tank!

___Could that achievement have anything to do with hanging out here by chance

___Good Luck and I hope you receive many more tanks just like it in the future!
