No problemo. Sounds like a well thought out decision to me.

Congrats on the 70+ tank though!

... 100 mpg at 50 mph would be nothing to be embarrassed about.
That's my plan! Recipe: lean burn, boat tail, various other mods, all at 80 km/h posted limit (50 mph). I'm sure it'll happen. Honda made it almost easy with the Insight as a starting point.
