We I ofically entered the 40MPG club during this trip. 41.7 Loren Beat me in overall MPG as he was expected to 1.5 vs. 2.5 litre engines. he was on the cusp of 50MPG. however using the standard scoring method, (EPA/actual mileage) I was able to hit 1.5 somthing where loren was just slightly lower at 1.4 somthing. the other Yaris was a NO-Show.

I have to give the props to Loren for putting on this event and helping me learn some hypermiling techniques. I never expected to win... but a Super low 6th gear and the ability to stretch that 6th gear all the way down to 30MPH gave me that slightest edge.
