Still getting better mileage - and range. Hit 57 MPG with the last tank, still have over 100 miles to go before the next fill-up. I have some "prototype" rear fender skirts on it made from coroplast, but they are very crude, and from the protruding edges, etc, I can't help but wonder if it's actually a net gain. HAH!! Guess I need to get busy and make a nice, contoured set.

I'm also expecting to reach the "end" of my mileage improvements soon if I don't take the "next step". Contemplating a kamm-back or boattail next - probably a kamm-back, because I don't think I have the ambition to do the tail light repositioning at the moment.
