Retiring my SE-R

I'm giving it away to my daughter's family. It has about 93,000 miles on it. I hypermiled it the past 20,000 miles, averaging 38.02 mpg over those 20k miles (171% of '08 EPA).

Compared to EPA (22 mpg combined estimate), I saved 384.8 gallons, and $1073.62 over those 20k miles.

I used 528.43 gallons to drive 20,091.2 miles, at a total cost of $1474.31, or 7 cents/mile in fuel costs. And she still accelerates 0-60 mph in 7.1 seconds.
