finally broke 70mpg with my HCH I
many thanks to our resident guru, excel in chicago. he explained about using FAS, which is ideal for my route home from work..40 miles one way, and i can go the backroads in the country. i almost never see more than 3 or 4 cars on the way home, and most of them pass me with no problem......
so i added the FASing to slowing down, driving in lean burn mode and coasting down the hills.......

Nice work! My HCH has been struggling - can't tell if it's the weather (more A/C usage), but I'm down 2-3 MPG from this time last year. I've only had a 30+ mile stretch over 70 once (was like 70.1). That's great driving to go almost 40.

Keep it up! Your next one is in line.

Whoo Hoo! Congratulations! While I seriously doubt I can ever get 70mpg on my TCH, I did manage to get over 50mpg over the past 180 miles 
70mpg is quiet an accomplishment for a HCH. I am impressed
