No, I understand all that. I put it up there more for some perspective for the casual reader of this thread who is looking at 54mpg vs 61mpg and thinking it's some tremendous difference. It's 0.2 gallons per 100 miles. Half of that could be still in the fuel hose when you pull the nozzle out of your filler (unless you're like me and sit there and maneuver the fuel hose around so that you get every last drop that you paid for).

Maximizing fuel economy is a noble pursuit indeed, but knowing human nature, and seeing firsthand the types of risks some "hypermilers" are willing to take on public roads, I just want to make sure normal people know what they're really shooting for before deciding to pull some of the fancier hypermiling tricks (I'm looking at you, Prius idiots who drive straight through side street stop signs directly into 50+mph traffic, doing 20mph and barely accelerating). I personally try to optimize my fuel economy every chance that I get, but I'm also not going to impose my objectives nor disrupt the daily activities of every other user on the road, just to eke out that last 1mpg. Mind you, I'm not aiming to imply that you or 'Hondasrule' do that.

Then it seems we perfectly understand each other. Guess that is when some people come and prefer European style of writing FE figures. In the old world those 54 vs. 61mpg would be something like 4.3L/100km and 3.8L/100km, so it's pretty obvious for anyone that we are talking about 0.5L per 100km �

PS: The most funny thing on my FE is that for Japanese standards I'm an absolutely wild driver... Over here I see more people driving painfully slow in sport-cars than in Priuses... :P
