Never saw your average speed for the trip.
Sorry if I missed it.

But I find avaeage speed ALMOST as important as mpg.
As on posted said, he got great mpg once but avg speed was 37mph.

I have a similar trip to see a client. 2 mountian ranges to get there. I do alot of engine on coasting. but when the round trip is over, I usually am at 60-61mph avg and get 27-29mpg.
And that is my personal idea of success in this car 02 Infiniti Q45Sport (epa22hwy)

Drive Stick -

With that kind of weight reduction I think you could keep modding and enter an MPG competition.

Drive Stick:
Is the Saab`s ECU stock or has it been improved for racing purposes?
Saab has pretty economical engines in the get go, so if you proceed with mods and also go for the boat tail, 100mpg might just well become something usual for out-of-city driving.

Keep up the good work and don`t worry about nay sayers, better save your energy for modding.

Considering there is just one fuel log entry I think Sticky was a bit too enthusiastic about an outlier. I get get well over 60mpg if I pick the right trip to measure, but sooner or later I'll need to drive back home, uphill.
