Hypermiling the Ford Escort - Tank 4: Burns Lake to Hope
Without a second thought on my part, we pushed on from Burns Lake Sunday evening to Venderhoof, then Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake… and all the way home to Abbotsford. The fuel economy for many of these segments was outstanding. Even through the Fraser Canyon, I managed some town to town numbers as low as [...]
Hypermiling the Ford Escort - Tank 3: Prince Rupert to Burns Lake
The return trip from Prince Rupert began Saturday morning, and included a stop 100 kms north of Terrace at the Anhluut’ukwsim Laxmihl Angwinga’asanskwhl - Nisga’a Provincial Park. Highway 113 is now paved all the way, and this is a MUST SEE. We took a guided tour up to the volcano that erupted over 200 years [...]

It’s Friday now in Prince Rupert, where even after nearly two months since the longest day of the year, the sun still sets at 9 pm. We took a tour today out to Dundas Island and back… here’s some of the mammals we saw…
I filled up the Escort again Thursday afternoon, but not until after [...]
Hypermiling the Ford Escort - Tank 1: Abbotsford to Vanderhoof

The real challenge with the automatic transmission is keeping the engine RPM low enough to avoid the heavy consumption, especially uphill. Feathering the accelerator took some work, but I [...]
