Re: mpg observations
Nerdiness? I have a chapter in that book too.
My commute is 46 miles each way and it takes about an hour to complete, about half is 55MPH multiple lane freeway and about half is 45 limit highway.
I suprised that simple math shows my average trip speed only 47MPH which is a major contributor to my numbers.
It the slower speed only adds about 10 minutes each way.
Sometimes breaking ranks with the masses can save you alot of money, especially with today's gas prices!

Re: mpg observations
I ran some tests earlier this year which seem to lineup with the numbers in this thread.
https://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/...ad.php?t=14566
I run 60 in a 65 zone and 55 in a 55 zone and it gets me about 65mpg for these segments.
I want to get some other testing done as well:
1. FE vs 30-55mph range
2. FE vs acceleration - Tarabell had some stuff on this
3. FE impact of slowing/stopping at lights.
