65.1 mpg 90-day average

Well, I reached another big goal: a plus-65, ninety-day average (117% above "EPA"). The alternator mod, new non-fouled plugs, and higher-pressure tires are the probable reasons. Question: the 90 day calculation system seems to have changed. It seems now to be attached to the calendar. After both of my last fillups I was at one level in the 90 day average, only to see my number change a few days later as the calendar advanced. That's new, right?

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.
