Nice. Inspiring. Thanks for the follow up. So you changed the angle, but you also stretched it further aft. The new FE high is sweet, and I'm confident you'll probably sustain it, maybe even break it, since you only had the new kamm on during the trailing end of the tank. The next few tanks will help us see the overall effectiveness of the improvements. Keep us posted?

[EDIT: just discovered the attached. Site said it was a "classic Vega kammback emblem. Idea for a sticker.]

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.
