Any hypermilers here?

37 mpg for driving 75-80 mph is fine. ?

Finally broke 40mpg on my B trip at 7000 plus miles. Fuelly is still tracking a different number but I see that difference with every fill up.

I have a 108 mile round trip Monday through Friday. I bought my 21 Civic a few weeks ago. This has been my average..all hwy with one quick 45mph in the middle.

@Ronin73
That's also impressive. What is the average speed you're driving on the highway?

Here, most Semis are doing between 53 and 56 mph and it's very annoying for them if you would drive any slower than that.

Speed limit is 60mph for about 30 miles, then about 2 miles at 45mph, then 70mph the remaining 22 miles.

Wow those numbers are really impressive. Are you sure this is a Civic and not the Insight Hybrid?

What roads are you driving, highway mostly I guess? What speeds are you doing there? AC on or off most of the time and are you using cruise control a lot?

It's my 2017 Civic EX with 65000 miles. I only

use it to go to work, my drive to work is 59 miles one way, on a 5 day work week I drive almost 600 miles or one tank of gas. I drive country roads with very few stopping. My average speed is 40 mph with just over 14 hours a tank.my best one way is 64 mpg so under a gallon of gas for my 59 mile trip.

It's the 1.5 motor. I have a scooter that gets about 70 mpg and I'd drive that to work but I wouldn't save a whole lot more and I wouldn't be as comfortable driving a bike for my 2. 6 hour a day drive round trip.

Gas here in the states is almost averaging 5 bucks a gallon so I spend about 53 bucks a week with about a half gallon or less in my tank when I fill up.

I drive with the windows up and A/C or heater on as needed and yes cruise control most of the time and coast up over passes and small inclines. There are 2 other guys at my work that have the same cars that average around 34 mpg and can't believe the numbers I get until I show them what I'm getting. There amazed too.

Hypermiling video from the Autobahn. Averaging 57 mpg (4.1 l/100km) due to slow driving on the far right lane:

Just curious if any other people are trying to get superb mpg's out of their Civic?

I believe bubbaleenc and ubercivic are 2 that I know of that are really good at efficient driving but was curious if anyone else here was in the 60+ mpg club.

Not impressive, but I get tanks of mostly daily commutes of calculated ~40 MPG.

Noticed as soon as I had an aftermarket exhaust put on my car the mpg has been a lot worse lol.

That's not bad. It's a bit bitter better than the EPA rating (1.5Tubro CVT = 35 MPG combined city/highway), so I'd say 40 MPG is considered as hypermiling.
