Dang.

I keep trying to get my car's 90-day average up to and past Team Honda's average. I'm close but the team average seems to keep creeping upwards!!

Team Honda:49.65 mpg
Lean Burn Civic: 48.88 mpg = current 90-day avg
Lean Burn Civic: 50.42 mpg = last 3 tanks

I have some changes coming up.

1) Will temporarily not be commuting 50-55 mi. each way due to contract ran out, so I will have a couple weeks (or more!!) off work till a new contract is written. Shorter trips don't yield the 50-ish mpg of that long commute. My wallet hopes the new contract is ready within 2-3 weeks.

2) I hope to now have time to build the rear deck aero project on the Civic. http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...upe-18906.html If it works as intended it should get me at least a few mpg. Plus rear skirts, maybe will get the car good enough to still pull 50 mpg in the New England Winter that I know is coming...
