Goal summer 2013 = 100mpg Tank

As weather is warming up on the Northern Hemisphere of our "Third Rock From the Sun", my mileage is increasing, and my mind harkens to the next big milestone in mileage, the triple digit tank. I'm thinking that if I can keep the fuel system tight, clean up my aero, and stay fully on task while driving, I can make it.

Last tank = 54.16 mpgUS

It's been cold, so no engine off, tail is still a bit wonkey from the accident, snow storms, and got stuck in my driveway a couple times.

Plans are to finally get the tail shaped correctly, enclose the wheel wells, clutch, correctly time the fuel pump, timing belt and accessories, get MPGuino running on the diesel, and replace the starter.

Anybody else with me?
