Ok, I've driven 50 miles since the fill up and implementing the hypermiling tactics.
My fuel gauge needle is just starting to come into view. In city driving, it usually comes around between 35-40 miles. On the highway, it usually comes into veiw between 45-60 miles (depending on speed).
I'm already seeing the benefits of hypermiling a tank. The P&G is no joke. It seriously helps.
It's so much fun! Trying to time lights, turns, traffic, EOC's. Good times. I may just have to top-off on Sunday to get a reading!
Bought the E3 spark plugs today and a Stant SuperStat 195* thermostat. The plugs will wait until after this tank-ish. I still have to buy MSD wires and a new filter.
This all will have to wait until after the 26th, because that's when I get my sweet discount code/coupon.
