Aerohead: take your time on the pics. I'm not doing anything so quickly that I need instant gratification.

Well I filled my take for the first time since joining EM. My only physical modification is removing my old spoiler that came off a 3rd gen Firebird Formula. I also slowed down to ~62mph. This got me a tank average of 40.6mpg. Up from 38 that has been my running average since my trans swap a month or 2 ago.

I'm happy with the results and can't wait to make it better! As soon as I get some coroplast I'm going to start putting together rear wheel skirts and maybe flat wheel covers too.
