Thanks. The thirty or thirty-five mpg above EPA I generally get is at least half through hypermiling techniques, especially engine off coasting, something I don't think your CRZ can do, or at least I would not recommend it until you very carefully find out if it will wreck whichever transmission it has.Maybe someone on here already knows with certainty and will answer.

The best mods were my tire pressure, airdam, power steering delete (which I doubt you can or should do with your heavier car), injector cut off, alternator on/off, and weight reduction (only because I very militantly cut 250 or so pounds through all kinds of small part deletions and substitutions.

Do you have a fuel log here? Start one up in the garage so we can all track your progress with you!

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.
