Accuracy of the Mirage fuel economy gauge / MPG display: 4 owners say "pessimistic"

[3dplane]

Congrats on your fantastic MPG, 3d. Would you share with us your hypermiling techniques and mods to the car? Your numbers are amazing.

Thank you!

Sure I'll share

A mix of city and highway most of my commute is to work,about a 28 mile trip one way.

Car is stock for now,except tire pressure was bumped to 42 psi.

Keeping RPMs low as possible, LOTS of neutral coasting when ever posible. Even on relatively flat land I pulse and glide. If traffic allows,I will pulse and glide somewhere between 55-60 MPH down to 40MPH-ish on highway.

In city the whole ride is pulse and glide anyway.

I even did some EOC (engine off coasting) when it made sense to do so. Using bump start to save starter life.

I could achieve this mileage with my 94 mazda protege 1.8L 5 speed despite being a larger and heavier car. However that car had some mods. (aero and mechanical like alternator on a switch etc).

That's about it in a nutshell!
