QUOTE Hypermiling is defined by the New Oxford American Dictionary as the attempt to maximize gas mileage by making fuel-conserving adjustments to one's vehicle and one's driving techniques. So how many elantra owners are driving to get the best gas mileage? Well i have started doing this in my car. I what to see who here can get the best mpg, and share tips with other owners. Here is where im at on this tank. I have a 12 gallon tank in the j2. 124miles on a 1/4 tank of gas. My car was rated for 33hwy, so if i can get to 35-40 that would be better than that epa rating. -------------------- "This may be true but it is a chrysler sebring which is synonomous with being a p.o.s. car. Personally I gotta say it's getting really tiring having to clean off the sopping wet panties from my Hyundai Elantra every morning. Bitches love Hyundais." "Sometimes you wonder how the sperm that made that idiot was the fastest swimmer. . . Must've had a "race motor" in it with nass under the hood. . . " - Alex2013gt |

Nice to see this thread...and nice that it wasn't me that started it! Clicking the 'Thumbs-Up' button on this one for sure. I have LOTS of data collected for/from my K&N filter testing; now that Flickr is unblocked at work I'll be able to get photos up in the near future. I filled this morning, but didn't calc it out yet.
Fuelly.com is a great place to sign up and track gas mileage. They make it real easy by allowing updates via text message! Once you're signed up, turn on SMS updates and put in your phone number. Reply to the test TXT you get, and you're ready to roll. Any time you fill the tank, just text them M P G (Miles Price Gallons) and they'll add it to your log and send you back a text with your MPG for the tank and your lifetime average! -------------------- |

when did "MPG" become "Miles Price Gallons" ? For submitting to Fuelly via SMS, you submit your text message in that format. After signing up and turning on SMS updates, you send a text to Fuelly in that format, with a space between each. Example: Someone who drove 500 miles on 10 gallons, and paid $2.29 per gallon would text them this: 500 2.29 10 M P G Makes it easy to remember. "Is miles first, or gallons? Wait, it's M-P-G. Miles is first." MPG does stand for miles per gallon; that hasn't changed. -------------------- |
