I am in love with Polar's car. Imagine what modding and hypermiling will do with it. Congrats too on pulling slightly ahead of Honda in the team-to-team ratings, but I do want to point out that the team Honda has a bit more overall depth: nobody in the 50s could rate as high on the Honda list, the EPA percentages are much smaller on the Audi/VW list, and look at #7... >!< ouch. I'm just saying... we're getting beaten, but hey... there's more than one way to slice that pizza.

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.
