I started my EM account a year ago today, and this is post 1000. I have saved a little over $1000 in fuel by EM's fuel log estimate and probably at least $1000 more in learning to repair my car myself. Of course, I have spent about $1500 on "stuff" and tools for the car, but you gotta love what you drive, whatever you drive. Mostly I have spent a lot of time, learning and sharing experiences and ideas (sometimes half-baked "ideas"). I have a long list of mods to the car, check my garage entry... clearly I have been almost obsessed.

Thank you!

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.
