Hi Darin,

That's a lot of (good) work there! I was surprised to figure out how important tire pressure is (duh!) on my wife's xD. And yes, part of the gains to be had from better rolling can only happen after you (re)adjust your driving habits. After installing my video mirrors, it has taken me a few weeks to begin to realize the improvement. You keep getting surprised at how fast you come up to a stop, and so after you start to adjust, then you get the higher FE...

It's nice to confirm that your Butt-O-Meter wasn't lying!
