0 | Worst of the year, probably. Winter, sometimes under zero. Mostly 25-30km trips, some 2-up too. | 70.47 |

3.52934 |
0 | Winter, 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 |

0 | Closer 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 |

0 | Weather 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 |
0 | Somewhat 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 |
0 | Normal 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 |

0 | This 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 |
0 | New, 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 |

2.98 |
0 | 22km 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 |

0 | Guga-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 |

0 | ~70km practicing around town, trip to the largest viaduct of Hungary and a few villages with strange names :D

0 | 2 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 |

0 | 300km of commute *miling, then a tour on mountain roads of Pilis. I'm afraid I can't leave hypermiling at home anymore... | 93.07 |

0 | 2-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 |

3.66 |
0 | Basically 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 |
0 | Most 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 |

0 | Personal 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 |

0 | Usual 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 |

0 | I 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 |
