Yokohama Avid S33 front tire pressure 50 psi, rear tire pressure 48 psi (tires were rotated 10/6/2011) Grill blocking 100% top and bottom ScanguageII (FwT,SoC,RPM,GPH) 160F < FwT < 195F target range 50% < SoC < 75% target range 0 < RPM < 1600 target range 0.00 < GPH < 1.20 target range the outside temperatures ranged from 50F to 80F mainly hilly suburbanite roads and stop-n-go city roads. No AC, No Heat/Defroster. In a week - I'll be lowering my tire pressure down to 42/40 for better traction. you can see the full mileage log on Cleanmpg.com under Hybrids "HyperDrive 1" (top 100)
Looks like I need to start blocking my grille (I've been holding off because of temperature fluctuations). I can't raise the psi that high in the winter tyres. They're already as rough/uncomfortable as it is at 37/35 (I had it at 40/38 last year and they were brutal!)
Now that temps are more moderate I don't have to use the A/C as much and when I don't have to, mileage is 5-10% better.
