No different techniques then last month... and the same tire pressure. The only difference is I took two trips (200mi and 100mi) instead of one.

It has been very hot and muggy! The Yaris loves the heat and highway trips...

I'm using the A/C still about 1/2 the time of my driving. It seems that using the A/C has not had any affect on fuel consumption...

Hopefully, I can make three consecutive 50+ MPG tanks? The cooler weather will be coming soon, the Yaris does not perform as well in FE for the PA Winter Season.

Cheers!
