Finally getting broken in
The Clunker turned a milestone today on the way home:



Did a quick calculation from the data in the garage. In the 18,000 miles since I joined Ecomodder.com, I've saved about $685 by hypermiling vs. getting the EPA average. I think that pretty much covers any extra clutch or starter wear. Thanks guys!
