Thumbs up First Milestone Passed !!

Hey All,

Fillup this AM - and I find that I have just past my first "Internal" milestone.
30 MPG on a "Commute tank" - this was ALL commute to work and back.

30.5 MPG to be more accurate.
Changes to date are "Nut behind the wheel" changes -
- Tire pressure to sidewall.
- EOC / No idling
- Wiser parking choices

Has me totally psyched !! With the scangage on order - I can ensure I stay above that level and work on the next Milestone.
I am thinking step up to 35 MPG on a commute tank - that would be 150% EPA Rated.

Thanks to all you guys and gals for the tips / advice.

ECOMODDERS RULE !!!!
