413 miles 9.7 gallons, for 42.5 mpg time 11.9 gallon tank is 505 miles woot. No aero mods, only a kill switch and lots of EOC, DWL, DW/oB. Only one tank but I installed the kill swich 100 miles into the tank. I am looking forward to doing a grill block and Kammi back to see how things go.

We finally moved in from the bush sold the Suzuki samurai and am using the civic full time now. I will be driving more here but hopefully the better millage from the civic will mitigate it.

edit to add

Over the last couple months I have been traveling and driving my sisters new chevy cobalt with an MPG readout, and a couple of new Focus (focui?) with a MPG bar graph.

Excellent opportunity to teach myself how to drive more better. I was getting high 30s in the cobalt and focuses. using DWL and on the automatic cars by lifting the foot to force an upshift.
