One incremental improvement over last year's 88 mpg tank is higher LOD pulses. Thanks to Sentra's testing I'm now pulsing at 88-90 LOD instead of 80. My daily driving results agree with his scientific test results.

I also removed 25 lb of "junk" for this run. Owner's manual, jumper cables, ice scraper and gloves (it's summer, right?), floor mats, years of insurance papers, etc. The spare and jack are still in place.
