Anyone near San Diego is welcome to come and say "HI" this Sunday. I was invited to show my 2005 Insight at EarthFair 2006 in Balboa Park. I will be there all day, so come on by!
I am leaving today from WA, hoping to average 91 mpg along the 1370 mile route. Most miles will be on I-84 and I-15, passing Yakima, Pendleton, Baker, Boise, Twin Falls, Ogden, SLC, Cedar City, Mesquite, Las Vegas, Barstow, Ontario, Temecula, Poway, SD. The temps are forecast to be fairly warm, but some headwinds may be lurking.........darn. On this type of drive (for hypermiling) you just LONG for tailwinds.
I am leaving the passengers seat home to save 34 lbs. Tires are inflated to 51 lbs. No front license plate. Car is absolutely clean & highly polished. Removable bug screen is in place over radiator. Have onboard GPS, ScanGauge, police & aircraft scanner, high powered stereo system, video camera instead of outside mirrors, 3 tuna sandwiches, some fresh fruit, and a bag of those pink iced animal cookies!
Will be using FAS, limited or no assist, and moderate steady highway speeds to maximize MPG. Should be fun! ..............
