One thing I realized soon after starting EOC on local roads is that I can get far better averages on the local streets than on the freeway. Add effective DWL and there is little point in comparing: the local roads are the way to go whenever practical in terms of time and distance.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
