Talking BAM! I earned the Hypermiler tag today!

I've had my fuel efficiency badge in my signature since I had enough posts on EM for a link, hoping someday that I'd break the elusive 20% over EPA and earn a "HYPERMILER" next to my numbers.

Well, after filling up last night, I did it! I'm super thrilled. I went from my old truck that averaged 15.7 MPG to my car that easily breaks 40, and I am literally paying my car payment in money I'm not spending on gas, even at $4.29/gallon US.

So far no aeromods or a scangauge (though the plans are for BOTH during summer break from school), just driving carefully, slowly, and using full-synthetic oil and "plus" fuel.

A big THANK YOU to everyone on this forum. Happy Ecomodding everyone.
