Not quite "hyper-miling" but my best mileage ever. 28+MPG.

A neighbor has some property near Lake Millacs in Northern Minnesota.  My main vehicle is a 2005 Ford Ranger standard transmission 2.3 liter four cylinder two wheel drive.  Cargo was a 500 pound Snapper lawn tractor, a Lazy Boy chair, wheelbarrow and two-hundred pounds of other stuff.

Hard fuel top off north of the Twin Cities ($3.49.9 cash) and a hard top off when we got back into town.  With this hard top off of gas 40% with load, 60% return with less stuff.  Speed was 60 to 70 MPH.  Few stop signs and stop lights.  28 MPG.  Original 2005 EPA was 29 highway.
