The car is practically making gasoline now, it's so efficient.



109.7 MPG (US) for the return trip.

I've kept tabs on my fuel economy for this trip because I make it a couple of times each year, and always on the same route.

Some stats from those numbers ...

- average: 95.8 mpg (US), round trip
- previous best, going: 103.0
- previous best, returning: 102.9

Question: did you modify the sides of the boattail, after the tuft tests?
Nope, I didn't bother.
