Re: 19.8mpg after HC removed!
Just returned from my work commute, averaged both ways it came out to 19.2MPG. The same as before removing the screen and doing the battery disconnect. The only difference in the drive was the need to pass a semi truck and a Honda Insight going up a 6% grade. Funny thing is the semi ended up passing the Insight just after I passed both of them. Hybrid drivers are a damn menace on the roads.
So there might have been a little bit of a gain in fuel economy considering the extra fuel burned for a spurt up to 90MPH and still having the same average fuel economy. I'll do another trip or two and report more.
