Summertime!
Anyone met their 45% over EPA goal yet?

Well I have!
Last 3 tanks average a stunning 62 mpg, over 50% over EPA...
The 90 days average will follow soon, once the last frostbitten May-tanks are out of the (90 day) window.
So special mods apart from a couple of LEDs, LGB, HIDs, 44 PSI and last but least the wing shaped antenna sleeve. And very moderate driving.

Last tank was really stunning. It did not look it would be very good but the tank was really full at 4-5 liters less than expected ??? Even 35 km onwards, the fuel gauge needle is still stuck to the max bar... maybe the pump is generous; if so they'll get a faithfull customer
