Hopping for 30 mpg cruising 65 on the highway and 40 mpg hypermiling. Needless to say, my civic will be getting some much needed downtime to go over a few things and make some improvements.
Your fuel log numbers on that last tank were quite impressive. And if my calibration studies of these D-series transmissions turn out to be correct, your actual FE was higher than 71 mpg... probably closer to 74 or 75 mpg.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
