Combined Results - Hypermiling Challenge Closure

I've been delaying posting this mainly because we've been traveling but I'm also very disappointed with the results, but here they are:

Winner: BW
Control week: 161.7 miles on 6.640 gallons for 24.35 MPG
Hypermiling week: 151.8 miles on 4.683 gallons for 32.42 MPG
Improvement: 33.1%

Second Place: ME (as in "the Doc" not "me")
Control week: 271 miles on 10.2 gallons for 26.6MPG
Hypermiling week: 255.9 miles on 8.5 gallons for 30.1 MPG
Improvement: 13.3%

Third Place: AB (who didn't provide the details)
Control Week: 24.8 MPG
Hypermiling Week: 27.7 MPG
Improvement: 11.7%

Last Place: Me
Control Week: 31.1 MPG
Hypermiling Week: 24.8 MPG

I'll be happy now to put this behind us and move on to more useful posts for people searching how to fix their a/c compressors.

P.S. Go here (my wife's blog) and scroll down a bit to see a picture of the four of us with our cars/truck.
