I found this on that site: I did some FE testing 64.8mpg - D-series.org. Is that the one? If so, he seems to have a turbo for power but relies on lean burn for higher FE on freeway trips. His average FE, tank to tank, would be interesting to know.

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.
