I'm doing great with the right foot and the coasting; my last three tanks have been over 31 mpg, one (and the current one) over 32. Not bad for an EPA combined of 19 and an observed 22ish before this.

I like the ducting idea, Neil. When I do get to aero I'll have to use that. The intercooler has a good duct from the hood scoop, but the radiator is just hanging out on its own. More to think about...

CFECO- I've got a manual and the turbo doesn't do much until over 3500 or so. I'm behaving, keeping the revs low and watching the load. Tire pressures are only 5 psi over recommended, 4psi below sidewall. They're low profile and I don't want a blowout.
