The details are in my blogs, documenting what occurred back then as it happened... knowing that change was inevitable later and figuring some might not believe that past from looking back at it later.

So, anyone who consistently exceeds the EPA estimated mileage for their vehicle should be called one. Since it applies to all vehicles I'll start to grind mine lol

That is absolutely NOT the definintion of a Hypermiler. Has someone been listening to the AAA crap again?

I consider myself a Hypermiler. You need to go over the EPA combined mpg, and do it in a SAFE WAY. Drafting is NOT A SAFE WAY, and not smart.

My 2007 Toyota Yaris HB, EPA 32 mpg combined (highway and city).
Since new 47 mpg (25 months), 2008 50 mpg (10 months), 90 day average 53 mpg (3 months).

I hope to someday get a PHEV, in a few years when the mileage is better.

Have averaged over 60 on the curent tank but it's not how I like/want to drive. 55 is probably more my style.
