03/20/2010 205.8 2.92 0Worst of the year, probably. Winter, sometimes under zero. Mostly 25-30km trips, some 2-up too.70.47
12/30/2009 251.22 3.52934 0Winter, usually 2-up rides, often wet road. Much less P&G, but possibly never exceeded 100km/h (80 is _much_ more typical). Mostly twisty roads and villages and some in-city. Professional plastic water cooler cover installed :)71.18
12/05/2009 255.446 3.24667 0Closer to freezepoint by the minute (hit zero once) - may need a larger piece of radiator cover, but I don't plan on riding under 0C. Struggling to keep her under 3l/100km...78.67
11/27/2009 284.464 3.54255 0 80.29
11/18/2009 270.359 3.24932 0 83.20
11/14/2009 238.3 2.94 0Normal commute + tire change. Weather is a bit warmer, 8C is typical.81.05
11/05/2009 283.159 3.71426 0Weather is colder again, 5C and under are typical temps. Had a 2*100km 2-up ride to Kisl?ng, with higher speeds (steady 110-120 on the freeway) and much less P&G. Another one with 30 in the city and up to 110 between Z?moly and Szfv.76.23
10/28/2009 284.46 3.31 0Somewhat warmer and pretty dry weather. ~100km 2-up, the rest is normal commute. 70-90/100 P&G with some 120-130 peaks. Back to the original route: I don't want to FAS with cold engine now, and it's shorter and steeper. I regularly use heated gloves now.85.93
10/21/2009 276.32 3.57 0Normal commute and ~3*70-80km 2-up trips. Weather became rainy and much colder, temps around 5C are normal. Several kms of lane splitting in 1st gear @ Budapest included.77.40
10/09/2009 329.265 3.72483 0This tank includes the 40k maint. 2* through Budapest, some practicing (1xkm), *miling while commuting. Had the first near freezing morning this year: 2C. Afternoons can still be over 20C.88.39
09/30/2009 156.83 1.585 0New, somewhat longer route to prolong first FAS - it's better in absolute terms, not just at the average. At least at dawn, without traffic. Less high-speed pulses (~120km/h max at that), mostly 70-90 or 70-100, took advantage of a few more highway FAS opportunities. Filled with carrera 100 (I don't think it matters much).98.94
09/28/2009 271.85 2.98 022km city practicing, 400+km freeway commuting. Took an unorthodox approach on P&G - no strict 70/90 (though the majority is 70/90), many pulses went over 100, a few even reached 130.91.22
09/21/2009 294.716 3.60859 0Guga-B?rzs?ny trip, much (40+%) Budapest 1-up and 2-up - practicing, visiting a party, very mixed environment: from empty city at night to stop&crawl and lane splitting... Pulse&Glide has become my natural driving style, I would have never thought...81.67
09/14/2009 322 3.8 0~70km practicing around town, trip to the largest viaduct of Hungary and a few villages with strange names :D FE is not totally exact, tripmeter reset itself at the middle of this tank (Google maps helped to recover the lost data) :-/84.73
09/10/2009 235 3.01 02 trips to V?c and the Bakony; 2 times through Budapest, including some stop&crawl; acting as an instructor in 30km/h zone, mostly in 1st/2nd gear.78.07
09/03/2009 279.24 3 0300km of commute *miling, then a tour on mountain roads of Pilis. I'm afraid I can't leave hypermiling at home anymore...93.07
08/31/2009 267.376 3.46065 02-up trip to Ajkarendek; some strong headwind, 30+km city ride to the mechanic because of clutch problems... need to work more on timing unknown lights...77.26
08/16/2009 327.4 3.66 0Basically all of the 526.9km (327.4 miles) was hypermiling. Cruising speed was usually ~45-50mph. Backroads and deserted superslabs are good and safe this way, but freeway with traffic is a bit of strain on the nerves... Contains one experiment with EOCing a 2km+ long downhill stage, can't be repeated too often, I think. More and more frequent P&G downhills.89.45
08/12/2009 306.52 3.6 0Most of it is a trip to Hegyestu"+Tihany. Techniques: all of the above, except that I was seldom hiding behind the windscreen. Many twisty roads, and a little bit of gravel road in a forest.85.14
08/09/2009 302.73 3.53 0Personal best so far. (Soft-)Neutral coasting seems real good... I'm curious how much it wears the clutch plates. On my last trip I totally cramped myself on this otherwise comfortable bike to reduce air drag, my neck and back are a bit stiff after one hour... maybe I've gone too far? Usual speed is around 80km/h now (~50mph), I can't get much slower in 5th gear. It mightily reduces room for target driving...85.75
08/03/2009 298.88 3.61 0Usual commuting + some light touring, <10% real city ride, little stop&crawl. Experimenting with neutral coasting, hill assisted pulse&glide. Feels a failure with both bikes, air drag slows them down very quickly at highway speeds. Gliding down on hills at city speeds in neutral feels very OK though. Contains some safe distance drafting too. Not THAT good if I'd like to break my personal record, I can go slower (and with less throttle) without drafting...82.79
07/20/2009 246.31 3.22 0 76.49
07/15/2009 217.23 3.02 0Normal commuting plus touring totally without mountains... includes some speeding too :-/71.93
07/07/2009 228.6 3.45 0Has ~60km practicing at most ~20mph, in 1st/2nd gear66.26
07/05/2009 240.53 3.46 02-up (pretty hectic) freeway ride in the pouring rain and a long, casual tour69.51

06/22/2009 279.93 3.63 0 77.11
06/18/2009 285.52 3.44 0Driving really shamelessly :D82.99
06/17/2009 243.2 3.16 0No commuting this time, just a casual ride to Austria.76.96

05/14/2009 239.48 3.18 0 75.30
05/10/2009 269.36 3.33 0I continued to hone my ecomiling skills (let Teresa slow down uphills), plus her fixed rear brake, somewhat overinflated tires (I got her back from the mechanic this way and had no problems so let them like this), replaced valve shims and spark plug started to show their effect... which one counts the most, I really don't know. First break of 80mpg line.80.88
05/04/2009 205.67 2.92 0Some faster 2-some ride on freeway then my usual commuting.70.43
05/01/2009 179.45 2.75 0First trip after the "30k service" - passenger and luggage, bad city traffic, mountain roads, dirt roads and obscenely bad pavement between villages forcing me to go really slow...65.25
04/20/2009 174.36 3.02 0Experiment: how much does she drink at 'freeway speeds' - once I even tried her top speed @ 109mph indicated...57.73

03/15/2009 238.86 3.38 0Spring began, commuting and a tour with passenger, 70mph max on the looong ringroad70.66

02/10/2009 218.72 3.26 0Still winter, but I could go on a longer ride too...67.09
12/31/2008 178.71 2.97 0Winter combined with some city rides was really bad for Teresa's fuel economy. Gas was the cheapest that time, though...60.17

11/01/2008 293.41 4.45 0This was the 2nd time I dried up the tank: fuel level light died and winter hit, ruining my average...65.93

10/20/2008 283.84 3.61 0I was happy to break the 3.0l/100km line!78.62

10/13/2008 247.62 3.47 0Whole day ride with other bikers, they rode like crazy in my beginner eyes... sometimes I was afraid... yet the average is not that bad. Actually, next day I was riding alone with very calm 'tempomat hand' at 90km/h - that was the legal speed there, after all...71.36
10/10/2008 104.58 1.34 0Gradually I was getting used to Teresa...78.04

08/28/2008 198.16 3.59 0...and still the effect of pattern breakage. Actually, the last stage's average was worse... but on the long run it'll give a correct average, I suppose...55.19
08/21/2008 376.3 5.06 0I had to combine a few entries, my log is a mess here (I ran out of fuel once and it broke the pattern...) But maybe the first time I dared to slow down to 50mph on a freeway - well, it's much easier at dawn ;)74.36
08/19/2008 26.1 0.705 0My first trip ever inside a big city - traffic jams whole day, Budapest at its worst on a very hot day... I was close to throwing up because of the exhaust gases...37.02
08/17/2008 207.66 3.13 0Mostly freeway @~60mph, for one time I tried how does it feel to ride @~85mph. It was scary for the first time :D66.34
08/13/2008 227.86 3.125 0My very first few trips - light touring, mostly off-city; highway and villages, freeway at ~60mph. Also the first entry here - I hope it will work out as intended...72.91
