For some time the car served as almost a pickup truck, it was awesome. Now its my commuter car going 51.4 miles each way to work on a very busy stretch of I-95. As I learn what speed is best for hwy use and won't get me shot I am watching the MPG's go up consistently.

Next up it removing the roof rack and mudflaps, after this tank. Then it's interior gutting time, since I drive alone always in this car.

Then I have an excuse to lower it, perhaps make those fender skirts and fine tuning my driving. My goal is to reach 40mpg, but hell if I can get to 50 then I would use 2 gallons a day .... whoo hoo ...

Thanks again, I will likely monitor your thread to see the progress you're making with the Matrix ...

You guys rock !!
