The Hits keep rolling in! 35 MPG and climbing!

Just hit my second goal 35 MPG in a 21 year old gasser Jetta. Also did my first aero mod( grill block) near the end of the tank. Was getting 25 steady with cruise at 70 mph. I only do that coasting now, and only since the grill block. This nut( ex-drag/street racer) was pretty "F"ing loose. Still adjusting to the proper torque. The mods have just started, and if I come up with anything interesting, I'll be sure to document with piccies.

Thanks to all who've gone before me and left a clear trail ahead!!!
