Six fiats, including Zonker's 500, my civic, and carlos's saturn collected on the roof of the petersen auto museum's garage. Nice small grouping. We showed the cars, and explained their features. Toured museum, which features an EV1, a Centraur II hybrid, a steam-powered car, and a turbine powered car--as well as great examples of SoCal hot rods and one or two lowriders.

Carlos and I discussed a skill-share and testing meet-up at a site he has recommended repeatedly.

[EDIT: Today on the 125+ miles round trip to the museum, almost entirely on the freeway, I averaged 68 mpg, mostly doing engine-on pulse and glide, and ranging my speed from 50-65.]

Thanks guys!

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.
