Maybe the simplest way around this now is to take advantage of the ease of dismounting the hitch box and try coast down testing, ABA. Find a big hill or a long straightaway and see how far it will coast from still (if on a hill) and from a specific speed if on a long flat straight. Measure the difference in speed attained or maintained (if a hill) and measure distance rolled (if a straight away).

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.
