I'm #4 in percentages over EPA and #12 in overall MPG. For the first time I dropped out of the top 10 this summer. Normally I am up in the 67-68 MPG range in 90 day averages by now, but this summer has been one of experiment and maintenance, so I'm only at 66. ...

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.
