Re: Old Crusty HCH1 Hypermiler upgrading to HCH2
I'll put the new car into the correct section.
I'm just pulling HG's leg.
I don't really see it as competition either.
It is all in fun.
There are many factors beyond our control that affect our MPG, like hills, amount of city driving, length of commute, climate where we live.
It would not be fair to think of this database as a competition.
We all have the same goal of using as little gas as possible.

(A deep bow to Hot Georgia - a most worthy competitor but quite frankly I am getting tired of looking at your butt.)
They say that unless you are the leader of the pack the view never changes.
My worst tank was 51.7.
My best tank was 66.6 MPG.
Yesterday I ordered a Mag Pearl 2006 HCH without Nav.
Delivery is expected March or April.
I may change my mind and get the Nav though.
I'm also considering getting XM.
I think I am going to sell my 04, or it may be passed over to a family member who could use a nicer car.
KBB.com says it is worth $20,000 even with 20,000+ miles - I paid $19,300, $2000 under MSRP before gas prices shot up .
I have never before seen an appreciating car.
It will be interesting to see the MPG I am able to get with the HCH2.
I have been driving the same commute for 20 months so I have a lot of data.
This makes for a very reliable comparison.
I have pretty much optimized my MPG on this route.

The original post was tongue in cheek.
