Good work. When I started I was getting 17mpg in my van now I average 30. That's a hell of a lot more gas saved than someone going from 30-50 mpg. It's all good.

Keep it up!

Adding to what Christ is saying, it's much better to keep an older car running efficiently than buy a new one and create more junk. A car is a tool. I don't throw away my dewalt drill because it's a bit scuffed and dented, The scuffs and dents are it's proud history of good work. I keep it going till it really dies and I can't fix it anymore, then I mourn that great drill.
