What’s Your Optimum Speed For Hypermiling? I Have A 2004 V6 Honda Accord?
What is your optimum speed? I’ve found my optimum speed when not on the highway is about 42 MPH. I bring the car up to about 48 where my overdrive kicks in and then reduce to 42. My tach reads about 1300 RPM’s. On the highway, I stay at 72 MPH. That’s 2300 RPM’s. I figure a piston engined airplane optimum cruise speed is at 2300 RPM’s. I’ll do the same. The V6 Accord should get 19 and 29 MPG. I am achieving 26 and 34. I’ve found myself going an extra 100 miles per tank of gas! Try it, it works!

Wowz… I live in Europe and we have a tiny 80bhp 1300cc engine and we get 34mpg… that’s not much more than what you get…
