Filled up this afternoon and came up with mi 38mpg! I was hopin to make some gains with the new grill block but the issue with my cooling fan made me have to back it down a bit. I should have the new controller soon so I can get back to it. I was under the car tonight putting yet another shifter in the car along with another shift linkage rod (out of a newer car with less play) and noticed the steering rack was loose on one side. I knew I was havin major issues with it, but two nuts tightened up and now my steering is spot on perfect and tight as can be. I took it out to clean it and test it out and noticed I can now coast ALOT further that I could before...wonder if the loose steering rack was causin issues. Anyways, I look forward to continuing my quest to break into the 40s!!!
