Taller winter tires didint work. They were about 10 MPG worse.

So changed summer tires back.
Also disabled my power steering

Tried again to reach 100 MPG. I was able to reach 90.1 MPG at avg speed of 48.5 MPH.
Last 1/3 of the tank was raining so it had negative effect.

But still happy. Need more mods to reach 100 MPG...
