[Fix_Until_Broke]

Driver: Fix Until Broke
Miles: 900.4
Gallons: 16.373
Model Year: 2003
Model: Jetta
Tranny: 5M + 0.681 5th
Fuel Type: ULSD

MPG: 54.99

300 miles at 60 MPH Cruise Control with A/C on
300 miles at 70 MPH Cruise Control with A/C on
300 miles of misc trips/errands/etc with out A/C - Some driving for MPG's during this part of the tank only ~25% effort in driving for economy.

I've been really happy with the General Altimax RT's. They roll about as easy as my Michenlin Energy MXV+4's and I really like the additional 6% drop in RPM's from the 205/70/15's.

After a large handfull of tanks in the mid 50's without much of any effort to getting good MPG's, I'd have to say that my MPG's are back - mostly due to RC5 ALH and the 205/70/15's. Maybe I'll go after another 1000 mile tank this season yet.

TDI Rooster I have sent you 3 Private Messages trying to confirm your use of US gallons since your mpg is 2 standard deviations outside of the average for your car make/model.

Please confirm US gallons via a Private Message or help me to understand your hypermiling.

I have left a place holder at the bottom of the reports until I hear from you.

Peace.
