% over EPA it did better than my XFE.
Just remembered I have slightly oversize tires so it actually would have went farther than the car thinks so real MPG is even higher by a touch.
EDIT: Just did the math about 3% larger so 38.5 or so, I'll back to ignoring it except to remind her that the Speedo's off by 2 mph.

Nice!
Coby has been doing pretty nicely fuel economy wise. Found a truck doing 45 on the way home from work the other day and managed 43.5 mpg. I've managed to do over 40 mpg a few times now, definitely a great feeling.
On the not so wonderful side, the shift button broke the other day. I managed to find an HO scale telephone pole, cut off one of the little horizontal bars on it, and fit it onto the button to replace the piece that had broken off. Seems to be holding, and cost me nothing except that pole and some time to find my plastic cement.
I suppose that doesn't count as an eco-mod.
The driver's door bump strip is also slowly coming off. I may pull it off this weekend so it doesn't come off on the road. We'll see if I decide to reglue it and put it back or pull the rest off.
