Unfortunately, if it's only 10%, I'm going to have to call it a fail. 10% is a gain that you'd see from doing the basic stuff that we all do when we first get our cars. It's a little more difficult on a car that's already somewhat efficient, but still within reach.

I'm going to set an upper limit of 40%. If I see more than that, I'm really going to have to analyze it to find out why. Unfortunately, I have no baseline to go from, either, other than EPA estimates and whatever real world data I can glean from other owners. There are no other Storms on this site, that I know of. (Of the same body/config)
