That will be public science! A good reference point for others of us who also don't get to see such data (I guess OEM folks know). Maybe create a new thread with appropriate thread title just for that datapoint? So it stands out on web searches?

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.
