Thanks WS. The Probe has a pretty high stagnation point so I might do the nose before skirts. Problem being that I only have 16' of aluminum bar to use, and the headlight conversion must be done first. But for skirts I just need hinges and springs... hmm.

Hypermiler problems!

270 miles and still indicated above half a tank. I think this'll be a 500 mile tank. 45mpg, mayyyybe better? I haven't been P&EOC'ing or P&G'ing. Just coasting down hills and to stoplights, sometimes EOC'ing to stop lights. So it's a lot less effort now, which I really like. And fewer angry motorists. In a perfect world I'd be getting 50mpg tanks driving like this.

A friend of mine does a lot of computer stuff. He said he could build an MPGuino for $60. Have to get the headlights done and save up for that. So much to do, so little money.
