My best gas mileage yet!

My best "hypermiling" trip yet!
A trip to the airport returns 76 mpg!
- that's about 63 mpg (US), 3.7 l/100km.
Anyone can achieve a great mileage over a short distance

• I could, for example, go to the top of a hill near here, reset the fuel computer, then drive down the hill and claim great gas mileage!!
• but I will not!

What really matters is what gas mileage you get for a "real journey", and for a round trip, so that headwind/tailwind uphill/downhill effects do not skew the result.

The trip was far from optimum for hypermiling, but I did what I could.

"Dream machines" and "daily drivers" - what's the best bike?

As part of a move away from expensive (bad for the wallet), imported (bad for the national balance of trades - the "national wallet"), polluting (bad for the environment, and the air we ourselves have to breathe) forms of transport, folk tend to think about getting a bicycle.

So, the obvious question is: what bike is the "best"?

Answer: Depends what you want to do with it!

It is easy to flick through web pages of exotic, expensive cycles, and form the impression that the more one pays
