My Hypermiling Results

Results are in. Even with bolt-on performance mods on a car, it will still be able to save gas with hypermiling techniques. On average, an Integra uses around 30 mpg on the Highway. From Lynchburg, VA to Washington DC is about 180 miles. So in all it takes 6 gallons to get to DC. After putting 6 gallons into my empty integra. I started my trip. 20 miles into I found a great car to drift behind. He was going my ideal speed and the best part was I drifted behind him for about 90 miles. After reaching DC I still had about 2 gallons left in the tank. So in all I used about 4 gallons, calculating to about 45 mpg. Thats amazing, but I couldn't of done it without that car I drifted behind and the de-elevation from the mountains to almost sea level.
