Goal #1 attained, perilously close to #2 and #3 in sight!

Yesterday I broke 500 miles on a single tank! When I bought the car I was averaging 350-400. Once I got my Ultragauge I began to break 400/tank consistently, and set a goal to break 500.
Well, yesterday I did it, and could have driven another 20 or so before risking running out of fuel. SUPER EXCITED!

Goal #2 is to break 40% over EPA. I remember how excited I was when I broke 20% over EPA. That seems like ages ago.

Goal #3 is a 50 MPG tank. That's going to take some effort, as even getting to the ~47 was more than moderately difficult.

I have found that using the MPG/trip feature on the UG nets me tremendous results, I reset it every time when I park. I also highly recommend the trip log if you don't already use it.

Anyway I'm done bragging, thanks for listening!
