new mpg record
set a new record today on my round trip to work and back.
total is about 160km (100 miles)
averaging between 55 and 60mph, no cruise control, peddling for all i was worth using every trick i know,
heres the result
Its actually sitting higher than this right this minute in my driveway (53mpg), and i saw it as high as 55 on the way home, but this just happens to be what it was when i snapped the pic, and i was to lazy to grab another one (14 hour work day :P)
for those interested in the conversion numbers....
51.8 mpg (us) = 4.5L/100km = 62.7 mpg (imperial)
lmfao @ hybrids

now and try and get it for the whole tank
you shouldn't cause you can drive a hybrid normally and get that, not peddling all the time. BUT, that is ****** sweet man. I can't believe that you can get #'s that high with this car.

several car magazines proved that the prius hybrid actually struggles to exceed 48ish mpg.
and no hybrid I know of can get 50+mpg, and then turn around and do this:
"13.3 @ 106 --current PB 2008"

I have been hearing the same. People tune for the track and get better MPG at the same time. What more could you ask for?
Tune for meth, you got a race gas tune when you need it at WOT and still get kick ass MPG.

Good job on the mph. My personal best was 45mph, 90mile round trip to work, but too slow for me.

Nice man, most I've managed out of the shitty-ass S2 tune was 37.5 over a full tank, babying the living **** outta the damn thing... but there was a decent amount of stop-and-go in there too. I'll have to see if I can do a 100 mile jaunt at mostly the same speed. The S2 seems to settle in at around 41-42 MPG doing 55 MPH.
