I can't figure out how to copy and post the map, but here are the stats going to work:
Distance: 15.5 mi
Elevation: + 1444 / - 999 ft
Max Grade: 18.7 %
Avg. Grade: 1.2 %
That maximum grade is a mile or two long at 45 mph and starting at a traffic light that always stops you completely. It crushes FE. Otherwise there are two peaks to negotiate. I can get a 2-mile shorter route, but it gives me a third steep grade to negotiate, with traffic lights all the way up, and all the way down. Nonetheless, on good days when the lights don't get in the way too badly I get over 60 mpg on this route--and over 70 coming home.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
