___Upon further review, it looks like we have Five Hypermilers to the add to the list … I just caught Gargamel and his HCH named Bigmouth as well as
Priustideland and his very own Prius II named Driftwood #9 - Steve. Actually, Priustideland and his wife have both made the list in their respective Prius II’s which is doubly amazing

Good luck Kayakwill! This is a hard time to be trying to get your name up in lights as a hypermiler. Getting on the list is easy in the summer but anyone trying now is going to have an uphill battle.
Thanks for the kudos. I'm not as bad off as you are way up north. It is just now getting below freezing at night here. I've got spoiled with numbers in the sixties, the cold and rain have lowered my current tank to under 60mpgs displayed and it is killing me. I was originally thrilled to be getting numbers in the high fifties with a car rated at 46/51 but now such numbers are dissapointing compared to what the car was getting. It isn't even really that cold yet and I'm already looking forward to next summer.

Thanks Wayne & Lakedude for the encouragement. I'll be posting my 5th tank sometime this week. I'm still in awe of being able to go 700 miles on 10 gallons.
Looks like I'll be able to hold it in the low 70's during the winter. Hoping to get up into the low 80's in the summer. The hills on my commute will likely limit further upside potential, except on long trips.
