Agreed. I settled on 60+ mpg as the only goal once I realized that it required too much obsession for my tastes to get to higher levels. This car is my daily driver. I need to think of it as a tool to get me to places I MUST get to efficiently (in terms of time) and with as little mood-altering hassle as Southern California can provide. My ongoing modding is all about making 60+ easier to sustain, especially in winter.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
