Thanks! I have been able to average 30 or better on my drive to work which is 6+ mpg over what I used to get before I discovered this forum. That's a 20% increase as a result of my combined mod efforts and driving method improvement thus far! 30 MPG was my original goal and I was able to hit that with less effort than expected. I guess I have to move the bar now so my new goal is 50% over EPA (33mpg). With higher gearing I think I would be there already. Next set of tires I guess!
