Car sure seemed quieter and coastier tonight with the skirts on it. Running average up to 66+ mpg by the time I got home. Before re-installing the airdam and today the new skirt design, i was struggling to keep to 60, pushing pretty hard I got to 61. Today/tonight 66 and not really trying all that terribly hard, I thought.

That's not science. Just the butt-dyno and maybe one calibrated with some confirmation bias!

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.
