700 Mile Club

Here is my latest ...
Prius 2008 (Gen II) base model package #4.
Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex area.
745 miles when the last bar began to blink.
26.5 miles to work (each way).
10.919 gallons to fill the tank.
745/10.919 = 68.230 MPG
Approximately from 8/11/2013 until this morning (9/11/2013).
Outside temperatures low to mid 80s in the morning and 100 in the afternoon.
Average about 30 MPH.
Tires: Michelin Primacy MXV4.
Air pressure: 50+
Oil: Mobile1 Fully Synthetic 5W20
Drive to the frontage roads during non busy hours.
A/C usage sparing to work; no A/C to home.
Time the traffic lights, avoid stops, P&G as much as possible, gentle slopes help.
As you can see from the below picture, the first 5 minutes skews the average.

Done it.
1132.5km at 3.98 L/100km using 45.17L. That's 703.7 miles at 59.1 mpg (US) using 11.93 Gal(US)

So F8L, can I please join your club? With an asterisk, if you must?

I thought I had you already down for: 69.7 MPG, 752.3, 35 mph . . . Did I mess up?

By "done it" I meant that I had previously reached 700 miles at less than 60mpg. However, my 59.1mpg calculated is probably 62mpg indicated, so David may have that record on his own.

AVG. 45 MPH

---------------------------------

Stock wheels and tires at 44psi all the way around
Work commute round trip Mon-Sat breaks down to:
13.10 miles - Streets
99.56 miles - Freeway
And lastly, yes I always top off my tank

 

I drive cruise control 55 on the freeway and put it in neutral to coast down the mountains.
This was done in September, the weather was quite warm out
Fuel indicator ran at 0 for approximately 30 miles

 

I set out on Friday Sept 21st to drive to Seneca SC. I left the Twin Cities at about 3:40pm the temp was about 63 degrees out, gas tank plum full with ethanol free gas. I had every hope of making the 600 club today. I overshot it by a little bit. For the most part I was P & G and kept my speed to about 61 to 63 mph on the flats and rolled on it a bit going down the hills, and backing off of it going up the hills. Lots of hypermilling. Mileage was about 695 when the last pip started to blink. I started to panic at 35 miles to empty. I rolled into the gas station at 3:30am in Simpsonville, KY = 721.7 miles I filled up and put in 11.021 gallons, I couldnt get any more in. Actual 65.48mpg. My Average speed 58 MPH ! I continued on to South Carolina.

 

Very nice Job! Congrats!

 

Wow. Congrats!

 

Notice it was a single tank; a single trip, and; at most, one 'cold-soak' warm-up.

Yes, i stopped for one bathroom break at about 460 miles. I thought my bladder was gonna explode. It was a rest area. So quick on and off.

 

Hi everyone! The weather is starting to finally get warmer in Chicago and I just hit 500mile tanks again and should be hitting 600mile tanks in another month or two as well but now its time to go from the 600mile club to 700mile club and I want to hear from you guys the best tips and tricks on how you managed to do it. Each shared idea is one step closer to getting me to the magic 700mile mark. Thanks!

 

What are OEM Intergrities? is that like reprograming the computer?

anyway I will attempt the 600 mile club when weather gets warm. my fuel capacity is 9.4 I think, and no plug!

 

Intergrities = Goodyear Integrity Tires.
OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer (e.g. the tires that came on the car when they bought it).
