Again, just following the cars in front of me. From garage to parking space managed to average mpg. Third gear idles mph while getting high 30s for mileage. find it fun to play with traffic this way. If the engine is actually dragging down the speed of the car, it is use more fuel than if it were in neutral. In previous posts on this experiment have given mileage in tenths of mile, such as mpg.
Yes, you would be surprised how you can idle your way through tight traffic. Idling. Like the burstandcoast above, you could just idle you way along with the slow traffic. From garage to parking space managed to average mpg. At this speed the computer does not actually go in tenth of mileage increments. By keeping steady throttle this will happen on its own. must say even impressed myself with the mileage. We are off and running on the gas mileage experiment.
Last week said gravity was your friend. took different route However, that be misleading to some of you. Coast there in neutral. Idling. will maintain speed within miles per hour of the speed limit plus or minus during all driving.

Basically this means allowing your car to slow down as it goes down hill to build up momentum to aid in going up the next hill. My car idles in first gear mph. If thats true then neutral is your best friend. By using the constant mileage readout make sure maintain the mileage want while trying to accelerate downhill little extra, and keeping my speed from slowing to much going uphill. Vacation time is over and next week will be working days again, so will be setting out on the next step of my experiment in gas mileage.
try to keep very steady foot on the gas mileage experiment. Quite impressive for car rated at mpg highway. Yes, you would be surprised how you can idle your way through tight traffic. will drive it for three days and record the mileage. From garage to parking space managed to average mpg. The hills on the little twolane road one lane in each direction, along with almost no other cars, allowed me to use gravity to its maximum advantage. By keeping steady throttle this will happen on its own.
