What bruce said is my understanding as well. It sounds like that particular Si might have leaky clutch hydraulics if the engagement point is too low. That's how mine was when it went out - the engagement point went lower and lower until it would stay in gear no matter what.

I can't fathom how hard it is that some people pull astronomical numbers like 90+mpg, But even harder to fathom is they are doing this for over a 1,000 mile tank!

Keeping it up for a long time is the biggest challenge in these long tanks. Anything at all will break the string and knock it out of record territory. In my case, I'm looking at about 8 weeks to finish this tank. Patience and perseverance are required.
Oh, and a few years of practice and continual improvement. My mileage log tells the story clearly.
But things like this help: I blew away yesterday's commute this morning!
107 mpg / 10.7 miles to work. Best ever!
