3 tanks of 55.0 MPG! Pure highway to Florida and back, without even trying for FE other than some neutral coasts down long hills. Pretty much always in the 70-80 mph range. My girlfriend's unintentional heavy pulse and glide driving style seemed to get about the same mileage as my steadier style... With 55 mpg my highway range is now well over 900 miles.

Also getting 50+ mpg in daily driving, while driving as hard as I want. My mileage goals are basically achieved. Still want to complete a couple more aero-mods and run some coast down testing.

It would be fun to see how someone with more patience and hyper-miling skills could do with my car; I don't think 65 mpg would be impossible.
