OK, here's how you do it, guys. starting with a cold engine. I get 55+ mpg on 30 mile country road trips to & from Costco, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Harbor Freight, my pharmacy, etc. Those bread & butter trips make up for the <40 mpg bad trips that seem to always happen during a tank.

I got a new action cam, so I'm going to try to remake the video tomorrow. I'm hoping to get 0-60 mpg in 5 miles with a warm engine.
