I just beat my distance record! Thanks to an excessively hot summer, among other things. It took 7 weeks of commuting, 10 miles at a time. I started with the tank topped off until gas was sitting in the filler. I ran it down until it sputtered and died. A gas can (2.000 gal) in the back got me to the station for the rest of the fill.
1133 miles
13.751 gallons
82.4 mpg
Mods:
Grille block - smooth upper, 3/4 lower to leave a little airflow
Tire pressure - high
Mobil1 5w20 oil
Scangauge
Battery trickle charger. Too much EOC runs the battery down. 0.74 kwh for the tank.
A highly adjusted nut behind the wheel.
Techniques:
P&G EOC
conserving momentum
light timing
route selection
low speeds
low rpm shifting
parking at the uphill end of the lot, facing downhill for a rolling start (I enter at the top, so I just stop there)
NO AC
