68mpg!!! WOW i could enjoy that!! I will be looking into that 5th gear swap for sure! But no time to install for this trip.

I took off my lower grill and covered it with "MonoKote" completely blocking it off except the right driving light hole(driving lights removed) for inner-cooler air. It was my first try using Monokote since high school RC airplanes. It's not as pretty as i'd like but is covered.(will re-do it after this trip if it works) I'll be watching the water temp on the ScanGaugeII closely. Did the KFC-mod, and changed oil adding SHH. Airfilter & fuel filter changed too. checked for dragging brakes, and wheels spin with only minimal brake drag. waxed car too :-)
