LOL fun responses. I'd like to know the story on that alien doll...

I bought the headlight buckets from a late 70s Cadillac awhile ago and will be sinking two of those into the stock locations, and two more wherever they will fit. Acrylic aero covers, too.

Filled up today. 39.9mpg

WTF! I think it mostly has to do with my six mile drive to work at 5am, six days a week. The car doesn't warm up quickly enough. On the bright side, I got 40mpg with a LOT LOT LOT less effort than before. NO P&G, and no EOC except to stop lights. So that's a success. But I'm not satisfied (as always). I'm sure it'll get 45mpg or better when it's warm and cruising.

I'm going to pull the tufts off most of the car and test the stuff that's inconclusive. Then I'll pull the air dam off, block the rest of the top grille and some of the bottom, hook up the LED rad fan indicator and relocate the license plate.

Tomorrow I have an appointment to show the Anal Probe to my high school science teacher.
