Honda Civic Hybrid 2014 - 110 Mile Commute One Way

Hello Hypermilers,



My commute is 110 miles one way and almost all highway. I recently purchased a 2014 Civic Hybrid (rated 44 city / 47 hwy) and after reading a bit of your advice for beginners, I am able to achieve the following averages for a one-way highway trip:

• bad day - 53mpg


• average day - 56mpg


• great day - 60mpg

I use five techniques:

1. gradual acceleration and braking using instruments to maintain best efficiency


2. maintain highway speed of 63-68


3. use instruments to keep consumption in the green on inclines


4. coasting down declines and to stop lights


5. drafting transfer trucks

NOTE: I have been unable to achieve more than 56 mpg without drafting transfer trucks. My best single-day mpg rating was 64 mpg and I drafted transfer trucks going 63mph for almost the entire one-way commute.
