Scotty it looks like you have a firm grip on you project already.
You should realize that some of the incredible numbers eco modders get here are in stripped down highly modified project cars.
Those numbers represent I would guess 40% of the populace on this forum mabe slightly higher. Those cars seldom if ever see full hiway speeds or carry a cargo about.
And as said there is some dividing line about expected performances.
Traffic Jammers like myself are comfortable in Low 40mpg zones but there are some really cool 50 mpg+ @65mph cars on this site.
Mine is a 37mpg avg. @ 70 - 75mph.
That doesnt sound like much but it took alot to get from 19.5 mpg to there.
I just need to buy a 3rd gen Prius now and quit messing with my old junker.
