Thumbs up Wayne Gerdes makes News in Major Magazine:

Hi everyone;

Here is a very interesting Thread to read. It is about someone that most of us have either heard about or have met in person.

Nice to see that someone we know has made it into the "Big-Time".

MPG FANATIC WITH GUZZLERS

Default 37 mpg from a Ranger!!

Yes, Wayne is our allstar. I think his most impressive number is the 37 mpg he gets while driving a Ford Ranger -which I think is a business truck, so he can't "nurse" it much. A normal 4 cyl Ranger with a normal driver will get about 16 mpg city and maybe 22 mpg Hy.There just isn't anything exceptional about the Ranger's motor or aerodynamics.It probably hasn't changed a heck of a lot in the last 10 years.It is a bit smaller than the rest of the current small trucks(really midsized trucks now-Tacoma,Frontier).
He is a hypermiling genius.
Luck,
Charlie

Default Re: ***** Wayne Gerdes ***** makes News in Major Magazine:

I'm glad such articles are coming out.

In the big picture, if the general public just backed off from hypomiling, this would make a big difference.

61.5mpg lifetime - 82mpg in recent months
