49.11 mpg! coming home from work

I'm starting to get the hang of using the MPGuino.
Recently this trip's been good for 42-46 mpg but the Guino really helps, now that I have it really set up and installed.
It's about an hour's drive, open road highway with hills.

Driving Lean Burn '97 Civic HX, lotsa mods by now! '89 Volvo 240 is semi-retired. I did love that car though!

Congrats. Is your civic completely stock? Gives the rest of us something to shoot for.
