First off I made to many changes.
1) all the aero mods front and back.
2) Lean burn from 18.5 to 19.0 to today's 19.0 to 20.0 A/F
3) Ran my e-cut out open half the time
4)raised tire pressure up to 55 psi. (I forgot I drop them down for the last two test runs for comfort reasons for daily driving).
5) I averaged more around 56 mph.

Anyway I went my usual loop 66 miles interstate 90 freeway driving.
Temperature was about the same as my last run. Started out 82* F in my town and went up to 86* F in Spokane. No wind at all this time.

Went 66 miles and I could not for the life of me get any more fuel back in the car. It only took 0.627 gallons.

103.66mpg something is not right there's no way it did this???

The car is really impressive to drive. You can let off the gas and it keeps going forever.
