This dsnt seem like the right forum for that. lol If I did, all of you guys here would more than likely say "you could save 200lbs by taking out the subs and amp!"

I know I can nudge 46mpg... My goal is to only use ~9 U.S. gallons just at 51 mpg!! however, without an mpguino, at least on the way down there, I don't know what speed will yield the best mileage... Time is not really an issue, what speed would be best? 45, 50, 55? idk... You have seen my slight arrow improvements. What do you guys think?
Wow, 51mpg would be impressive. If you can safely do it, try 45mph the whole way. You'll have higher engine load and therefore better efficiency for every drop of fuel.

Do you know if the rear window has attached flow?
