My commute is 46 miles each way and it takes about an hour to complete, about half is 55MPH multiple lane freeway and about half is 45 limit highway.
I suprised that simple math shows my average trip speed only 47MPH which is a major contributor to my numbers.
It the slower speed only adds about 10 minutes each way.
Sometimes breaking ranks with the masses can save you alot of money, especially with today's gas prices!
steve, i totally agree. however, i have found out the hard way in the last week that breaking ranks with the masses sometimes lands you on their short list of people to hate......re: the AP article in which several of us were interviewed. but i refuse to cave........
Traveling 4-5 car lengths behind a semi boosts my mpg by 15. I could probably get even higher mileage if I got closer, but...... my daddy didn't raise no dummy.
I run 60 in a 65 zone and 55 in a 55 zone and it gets me about 65mpg for these segments.
I want to get some other testing done as well:
1. FE vs 30-55mph range
2. FE vs acceleration - Tarabell had some stuff on this
3. FE impact of slowing/stopping at lights.
