found F/R brake worn out

dr. side is 1/2 but that was very near metal.
so this teel something about why I cant get past the magic 38mpg marker.
It is still awesome to go from 19.5 avg. eco to 35.3 but I really want this project to peak before I get a eco 40mpg+ out of the box and mod it.
I have not gotten a new base line mpg set since new wheel disc covrs and moving the factor spoiler out past end of the trunk 3"+ overhang.
due to trips and fuel gage issues.
The car shows over 1/2 tank now after 4 round trips that est. is a solid 35 atm. but it also had a bunch of in town runs that are not factored in.
Brakes fixed last night and coast down today was far beyond normal I needed to dig into brakes at off ramp where normally I just touch them after the 1 mile glide.
we shall see soon.
But I may not have solid gain numbers to post for the last 2 mods as the 205 front tires are imminent. I drive really slow in rain to keep her feet planted at the back end and she still wiggles her butt.
Its the car I love to hate now HAHAHA!
