Nice job! I feel like I pulled a 60 or so on the way home from school today. Bet I could use some aero mods,

[MetroMPG]

Feel like? Are you not MID-equipped?

[SVOboy]

Sold it before I went to japan,

I actuall filled up a couple of weeks ago, but seeing as how we were busy moving into these new digs, I just entered my fill data tonight.

3.4 L/100 km ... 68.4 mpg (US) over 1165 km / 724 mi.

Considering most of that was highway DWL, it's not terrible.

Got 64.5mpg on the way into work (distance 54 miles, speed 55to 60mph, temp 40F, light traffic)
78.8mpg on the way home (distance 54 miles, speed 60 to 70mph, temp 55F, moderate traffic).

[MetroMPG]

OK, relative to the Aerocivic, it's terrible. Nice going, basjoos.

[SVOboy]

When is the blackfly going to get pretty?

I'd be working on the permanent partial Kammback (platform for an extended boat tail) right now if I had a heated workspace.

1. 64.5-5.8(home to wife's work)
2. 73.9-9.6(wife's work to my work)
3. 37.2-1.2(my work to pick up my mom)
4. 61.5-8.9(mom's to wife's work)
5. 71.9-7.7(wife's work to grocery store)
6. 65.8-12.2(grocery store to mom's)
7.103-5.1(mom's to home)
Average for today was 68.4 and the tank is at 65.4 after 172.2 miles.
