I hear you. Maybe the fact that at teamswift the fuel economy forum is a sub-forum within a larger board means a lot of people pop into the FE conversations who might not otherwise think about the subject matter.

I do recall how frustrated I was with the Flea's FE performance before I started EOC (and later, P&G). At that time I would have found 70 mpg very, very hard to believe. But I can also tell you I would have pestered the person making the claim to fill me in on technique & mods, rather than just dismissing him.
