And it's moved up to to 132 out of 407 on the list of top gasoline cars in MPG, too.

I think we're well on the way, now! With a fresh alignment, synthetic oil, and 95% grille block, do I dare predict a 50+ mpg tank soon. I wonder?

EDIT: Oh, we settled on 0w30 weight for the oil - Mobil-1 synthetic. With summer approaching, and constant stern warnings from my mechanic, I decided not to get so aggressive this time around. This "new" engine is awesome, and I'd feel pretty stupid if I did something bad to it - especially after being warned!!
