Almost 41mpg!
I've owned this car for 9 years and never thought I would see this day. First off, the cancer inside the passenger's rear fender is massive, but a nice plus was a 40.97 mpg tank this week. All highway, some stiff headwinds, and some nice rolling hills to contend with. Sometimes I did P&G from 55-65 and others at 60-70.
I swapped back to my all-seasons and recalibrated the UG. I'm using the odometer on that to take out the tire variation. I'm sure I picked up a few mpg points because I was previously using the dash's odometer.
Planned mods are one more piece of the grille to block, (weld the rust holes in the floorboards), finish the bellypan, (and weld the gas filler door surround back on). Still tossing around the idea of steelies, moon hubcaps and rear wheel skirts, though I'm still a bit self-conscious about those.
I have 360 miles to central IL and back this weekend, and the wind looks like it will hold off. We'll see what happens...
