The taming of the white whale.

My first tank after purchasing this former police cruiser netted 16.37 MPG. Needless to say I was a bit underwhelmed. My last 5 tanks have all been 20.6 mpg or better with a max of 22.4 by simply driving more conservatively and lowering my cruising speed.

Below is the initial game plan for taming Moby Dick:

INSTRUMENTATION:
Ultragauge

AERODYNAMICS:
Chin Spoiler
1.5" Lowering Springs
Belly Panels

ECM:
SCT Flash Programmer w/ eco tune

ENGINE:
High Efficiency Camshafts
PI Heads and Intake

DRIVETRAIN:
2.73 Ring and Pinion
