When you take into account the temperatures around here have been below 35 everyday, that is incredible.
Yeah, that sounds like success. Cruising at 60 or 65 mph, down around 2000-2200 rpms, with lean burn, you have the car dialed-in very nicely now.

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.
