So we finally used up our first tank of fuel in the Paseo on a tank that started off with about 60 km of hard city driving, followed by a 580 km drive through mountains and highways with 100 km/h speeds, and huge steep climbs and descents. I was extremely happy to find out that we were able to get 630 km in total out of the tank and we achieved 40 MPG which is +48% from EPA. The tank was 94 octane from Chevron with a bottle of AMSOil P.i. Performance Improver Concentrate to give the engine a good cleaning(it was free). I was practicing my EOCing which really helped with the fuel economy and I am excited to learn some more techniques.
I have also decided, after tonight, that I will be making the car a two seater and removing the rear seats and any other unnecessary pieces from the trunk as it is way to uncomfortable for anymore a third passenger as the rear window sits extremely low. Now, the option to hit your head on the window won't even exist but I will keep the seats in storage for resale or in case of emergencies. I also plan on building a block for the front bumper but I am toying with the idea of some great fog lights as the main headlights do not put out enough light.
I found out that I will be taking a To route and a From route for work as I can EOC on a major downhill taking one route to work and return using a different downhill on another road.
