Thanks, and this was all done with an ATX. Coasting with engine on in neutral. I really learned alot about driving better on this trip. Over 2000 miles of seat time helped me to focus on what works and what doesn't. I believe a HAI will work great for this car becase the one day I did a short trip it was crazy hot out and the mpg was outstanding, better than I have ever seen, but without a scangage I can not quantify it... I really developed a feel for climbing long grades on this trip and I think it helped a lot on the 54mpg tank. Hopefully I can get some of this success to translate into the commute.
