    Thanks, Bob. Let me know the best way to make the switch to your table format. Or do you already have it set up and I should not update these threads anymore?

    Here is my latest ...
    Prius 2008 (Gen II) base model package #4.
    Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex area.
    745 miles when the last bar began to blink.
    26.5 miles to work (each way).
    10.919 gallons to fill the tank.
    745/10.919 = 68.230 MPG
    Approximately from 8/11/2013 until this morning (9/11/2013).
    Outside temperatures low to mid 80s in the morning and 100 in the afternoon.
    Average about 30 MPH.
    Tires: Michelin Primacy MXV4.
    Air pressure: 50+
    Oil: Mobile1 Fully Synthetic 5W20
    Drive to the frontage roads during non busy hours.
    A/C usage sparing to work; no A/C to home.
    Time the traffic lights, avoid stops, P&G as much as possible, gentle slopes help.
    As you can see from the below picture, the first 5 minutes skews the average.

    So F8L, can I please join your club? With an asterisk, if you must?

    By "done it" I meant that I had previously reached 700 miles at less than 60mpg. However, my 59.1mpg calculated is probably 62mpg indicated, so David may have that record on his own.

    I drive cruise control 55 on the freeway and put it in neutral to coast down the mountains.
    This was done in September, the weather was quite warm out
    Fuel indicator ran at 0 for approximately 30 miles

    I set out on Friday Sept 21st to drive to Seneca SC. I left the Twin Cities at about 3:40pm the temp was about 63 degrees out, gas tank plum full with ethanol free gas. I had every hope of making the 600 club today. I overshot it by a little bit. For the most part I was P & G and kept my speed to about 61 to 63 mph on the flats and rolled on it a bit going down the hills, and backing off of it going up the hills. Lots of hypermilling. Mileage was about 695 when the last pip started to blink. I started to panic at 35 miles to empty. I rolled into the gas station at 3:30am in Simpsonville, KY = 721.7 miles I filled up and put in 11.021 gallons, I couldnt get any more in. Actual 65.48mpg. My Average speed 58 MPH ! I continued on to South Carolina. 2013-09-21-15-03-02.png 20130921_044019.jpg

    Notice it was a single tank; a single trip, and; at most, one 'cold-soak' warm-up.

    Hi everyone! The weather is starting to finally get warmer in Chicago and I just hit 500mile tanks again and should be hitting 600mile tanks in another month or two as well but now its time to go from the 600mile club to 700mile club and I want to hear from you guys the best tips and tricks on how you managed to do it. Each shared idea is one step closer to getting me to the magic 700mile mark. Thanks!

    What are OEM Intergrities? is that like reprograming the computer?

    Intergrities = Goodyear Integrity Tires.
    OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer (e.g. the tires that came on the car when they bought it).
