63.83 tank, 60.63 90day, 102% EPA (yippie)
Big goals reached with a new high tank. Switched to 0w30 fully synthetic oil, avoided some night driving, avoided freeways absolutely, drove at, close, or above speed limits, waxed car, refined pulse/load, fine tuned WAI a little... basically I have little idea how I got this result, but it is from my usual pump, slow flow speed, to the first click only.

That's especially significant when you consider you are staying close to the speed limit on your routes.
Great work, and dedication to efficiency.

I wish I could say what my average speed was, but that seems to be a major shortcoming of the UG: I guess they did not anticipate people driving at least half their miles with the engine off! Hahaha!
