Don't I count?
On pure highway trips, 50 is not a problem at all, in fact I believe I can reach 60 now. However a 50mpg average commuting is my goal, and I have not reached that yet.

Your comments on Lean Burn are interesting. I run about 17:1 on my motor and it seems to work nicely, if I go up to 18:1 I can't go up hills without slowing too much, or I get pinging if I let the load go up too high. Lean burn has made it possible to reach 50mpg commuting. Although the best I've done is 54mpg on the highway without lean burn, wheel skirts or scangauge Now I have many more mods

I've been meaning to make an update post about my car, maybe it's time now.
