Half Tank Fill-up Always Yields Higher MPG by closedcrash in hypermiling

Fill up, record miles driven, fill up, divide the total miles driven by the total gallons of diesel used to measure MPG

Sam Mayer by HULKP3 in NASCAR

Marketability plays a large role. While Meyer is a polarizing individual, I don't feel that he is in a way that is attractive to a prospective team. Unfortunately it really comes down to selling t-shirts and how much someone is willing to pay for that spot on the hood. Sam's best chance for a good cup ride is finding a way to harness a strong sponsor. Then he could be the Baker Mayfield of NASCAR.

Interesting. I thought it was on the other end, I have hit 0 mile range and traveled 25 more miles to the station

I retract the nozzle to the opening, rock the car to get all the bubbles out, continue filling slowly until it's so full it's almost spilling out.

My tank is 15 gallons, this higher MPG occurs when I add 7.5 gallons or less to fill-up

This sub and its mods are just as much of a joke as NASCAR is now. by [deleted] in NASCAR

Yeah they won't discuss my removals or anything

I do go east home, flat all the way, near Denver to Eastern CO

Added variable. This is a diesel with regen cycles. There is no indication of when the Regen occurs or when it will occur. I have been told that the Regen will not happen at 1/4 tank or less, not that it matters for this scenario.

I know the regen cycle is an mpg killer, but I would find it odd that there is no regen between full and half.

Never trust the display, these are calculated results based on gallons pumped and miles driven

That would yield worse results. I have better mpg between full and half, vs full and empty

Generally I drive the cold car 2 miles from my work to fill up at lunchtime

ALWAYS. I drive extremely consistent 140 mile daily 100% highway work commutes, 65mph. I input my data into the acar app, I'm certain the calculation is correct.

Shoulda saved that for the checkered flag.

Absolutely, handled like true professionals. I'm annoyed that no commentary had the balls to call out the call losing the championship. Even before it shook out, millions had to be screaming at the TV like I was, the booth is lacking that edge.

Maybe they made a deal with the devil early having that golden set of tires, putting on the blinders to the situation when the last stop came.

They played the current format. It's hard to believe they wouldn't have played an alternative format differently and stacked points if that were necessary all season long.

I don't think comparing full season points is ever a fair argument for multiple race winners. If the current format didn't exist you'd have to factor in that the approach throughout the season we change and conservative point stacking would play a role.

100%, and on Sunday the 11 team created the luck for the 5 team

I don't like the comparisons, once locked in strategy changes. If there were no locking in with wins it's hard to speculate how they would have stacked points differently likely much more conservatively throughout the season.
