Don't misunderstand the title. I don't feel that this project is 40mpg or bust. It is more of a long term goal. Obviously since I haven't recorded a 2nd fill up yet. I don't even have a hard baseline established yet. All I know is that I'm gonna do everything I can that isn't beyond reasonable to get my fe where I'd like it. At this point, other than a $4 kill switch, I haven't invested anything beyond the purchase price into it ($2,500), which leaves me about a $1,500 budget. I'll find out today, when I fill up, just what I'm really up against as a baseline. I plan to take the topper off for my next tank to compare with/without that as well.
