New high: 65.64mpg
I have gone alternator optional. Adapted to no alt with an Odyssey deep-cycle motorcycle battery + on-board specially designed Odyssey 6amp charger. I plug the car in at night now. I also have slowly installed LED and HID lights. I am hitting new highs at a time I should be seeing declining FE: morning temps are in the 50s/60s, nights are longer, and I'm encountering some rain. It is not Minnesota, but it is not ideal, either. Things are working nicely. But I had hoped to hit 70mpg this tank. Still, I'm hopeful I might get to a 65mpg three-tank or 90-day average yet this fall.

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.
