Bill/wmjinman recently tore his way into both the Top 10 gasoline car sections! Here is what he had to say about all he has done to get his high FE:

60 psi in the tires

Duct taped the front grille openings to keep excess air out of the engine compartment

Warm intake air heater, drawing the intake air from around the exhaust manifold

Hypermile like crazy

That's "it" so far, but wait 'till I get my additional aero mods and injector kill switch up & running......"watch out!!!"

Thanks,
Bill
