Saw this new topic and had to post something.. Was thinking about this on my way to work this morning.. and had the canview up.. Got about 3 MPG more yesterday morning than the previous morning..and this morning.. Temperature was about the same... So was the wing. (accoring to the flags) So could it have been a higher battery temp from using the car the night before? I do mostly highway mileage.. so I do not think it would matter.. But I am at a loss to explain it.. I want to explain it.. so I can get that kind of mileage all the time.. Also noticed that I got 6 bars.. (30 minutes) at the exact same MPG.. (Just a hair over 50) Due to my commute.(hilly). that is the first time I have ever seen that.. Any correlation to the increase in MPG? Something to think about.. <_< scott
