I have a new claim to fame!!! Just checked the "% over EPA" list this morning, and the White Gnat, with a 24.91 MPG first fill-up is SECOND TO LAST ON THE LIST!!! Number 440 out of 441 with 28.8286% BELOW EPA.

Of course, I'm not sure how long that honor will last - it had two "dead" cylinders with ZERO compression, and when the head was removed, there were 2 cracked exhaust valves. The head's at the machine shop now, so I may never be able to repeat that amazing feat of less than 25 MPG in a 5-speed manual Suzuki Swift!!!
