La Tortuga - '92 Geo Metro XFI

soo... first off, I arrived at a name: "La Tortuga" !!


I've entered her into the garage here, and next step is to update all the fuel logs.

Today, I reached a milestone, my first 50mpg tank!

Yes, I rounded up from a calculated 49.995
It seems like I had to work a bit harder to get that 50mpg than I thought I would have. I've been driving quite consciously.
I flirted with 50 for the past several tanks, all 46-49 range.
Does this sound about right for a 92 XFI with a rebuilt head? (previous owner) I imagine I should do a compression test.
what sealed the deal today was a higher percentage of all highway miles, averaging about 57mph or so... VERY slow for a So Cal freeway.


Now I've got some pretty good baseline numbers to reference as I start incorporating the slew of aeromods that I have planned.
