Re: Congratulations Hyper-Milers!
___There was a lot of juggling in the ranks and I expect to see even more over the coming weeks and months with the southern drivers using less A/C and the Northern ones left out in the cold so to speak.
Autumn is beautiful in New Mexico, though. Too bad it presages a frozen Prius. I think I am adequately motivated to clean out the garage, and put an engine heater on the block. Dropping down into the 40's MPG again is just ... wrong.

Kind of like a squirrel storing nuts before the first snow storm
Oh, and Wayne. I'll thank you not to mention the "V" word. My sleep is restless enough.

Your last 9 tanks in particular have been doozey’s!

Re: Congratulations Hyper-Milers!
Congratulations to Marsha Ness and Rubber band on your Hyper-Miler status. I averaged out your last ten tanks to show a very impressive 94.3 MPG over the last 8900 miles. Good job.

The other day I was asked about my milage and I was bragging about my last 5 tanks that averaged out to 92.3 over the last 5200 miles. The guy asked if I was in the top ten milers in the country. I said I think so but it's hard to tell from the list. I havn't found another car that gets better milage then the 5spd Insight and the Hyper Miler list is a great guide, but it leaves me with some questions. I noticed some Hyper Milers have many thousands of miles but only one entry. Was that just a good tank at the milage listed or is that the average of all those miles? Some Hyper milers have less then the 3000 miles. Is there a easy way to tell who had the best year, summer, winter, 100 gallons, 10 tanks, 3000 miles, 10000 miles, etc? Louis sno779 Silver Slipper
