95 F250 use 3-speed C6 automatic?

**sequoias** · 04-01-2010, 11:06 AM

Too much work remembering lot of things to get better mpg. :-P

My car averages about 30-32 mpg and I ain't complaining.

Practices takes remembering out of your mind.

I'm fully automated, averaging 28.2 MPG out of my V6 engine (EPA combined 19 MPG).

What is your car and its EPA?

2000 Honda Civic EX coupe. The EPA is similar to what I acheive right now.

Oh cool, plenty of them out there for sure. You might probably get 60 mpg with one of these hybrids.

Someone achieved 70-80mpg on Toyota Prius. Strictly hypermiling.

Carl Edwards (nascar racer) achieved 1,440 miles on one tank in Ford Fusion Hybrid!

That's almost the twice the mpg that average Prius drivers acheive. I've seen a Prius with average of like 29 mpg on the computer, lol.

Sounds like a heavy accelerator and speeder.

When I was hypermiling on RT 13, doing 55 mph in 65 mph zone, many toyota priuses passed by me speed along, maybe above 70 mph.

Yeah, I've seen some pass me when I was doing about 60 to 65 mph or so. It's funny when they buy hybrids and they still speed.

Last weekend when I was travelling 100+ miles trip, hypermiling 55 on 65 mph zone, a Toyota Prius was following me, probably trying to draft off my car! LOL!!

Hahaha, that's funny. Too bad my car will get worse gas mileage because I'm moving 1600 miles on April 18th or 19th. I will probably get 28 mpg average or so. I will have my car fully loaded with stuff. It's still better than renting a rental moving van, imagine how much the gas you would spend!

LinuxGold · 04-01-2010, 11:29 AM

About doing 70-80 on Toyota Prius (2001-2003) there is an article here.

Of course! So far to date since Feb 27, I saved 183.45 dollars from beating the EPA!

Pretty good savings.

I'm try to remember that I ride in your car. It's narrow small, correct? That mean, it would be much lighter than mine. However, you have been drive on hill down and up alot. Isn't it?

That's fair yet good mpg for medium size car

Yep, it will go up as high as to 36 mpg since weather is starting to warm up. I noticed during the warm weather, the RPM dropper a lot lower than what I am used to. I'm hoping to save as much as up to 2,500 in one year. My current goal is to achieve 36 MPG which is almost 90% over EPA. I am currently around 47%-48% over EPA, averaging 28 MPG.

Not that narrow...but smaller than your car. It's about 2,500 pounds and your car is around 2,900 lbs or so, I think. Yes, the hills kill the mpg. I think I will get better mpg when moving to other state because it's mostly flat there.

I am also in hilly Territory, the secret is to achieve DWL (Drive With Load). When I approach the uphill, I "buffer" my speed up to 5-10 mph over speed limit then HOLD the throttle there (keeping feet on gas pedal, parked on the side wall to keep it in its place). Stay on that speed until you go up the hill, the speed and RPM WILL go down dramatically i.e. If I buffer up to 60 mph, it will go down to 50 mph. Once when you go over the hill, stay on the DWL (holding throttle) until you return back to your speed (that is if you are going downhill) and resume back to normal operation.

With DWL I achieved from 23 MPG to 28 from doing that.

Ahh I see...interesting. That could be a problem for my car with a full load on long steep mountain passes.

Thought so, after I look up on specs model of size on Civic that your is the last subcompact car model and mine is now compact which appear start design in 2001. Fancy... No wonder when I notice that mpg was bit down than in past.

Yes, it's pretty tiny car! My bad, it's almost 2,300 lbs not 2,500 lbs. I just remembered now. 2,500 lbs is a bit too heavy for a car like that. Yeah, they add more safety bullshit to the car and put more powerful engines and that adds weight which causes a bit less EPA mpg.

Indeed, I have done it pretty much since. It helps... Funny, nobody told me and I had in head to figure that ought do the trick.
