Oldsmobile 88 series 2 progress thread

Sorry if in the wrong area on the forum. Thought I might be wearing out my introduction thread. Just gonna update things with the olds as I take the first steps toward hypermiling and diy aero mods. Started by just taking it easy on my 150 mile round trip to work. Cranked out a pretty decent 28.3 mpg out of the old n/a 3.8 v6. So i wanted 30 at this point and here I am. I have been coasting alot doing the wide cornering for maintaining momentum and no ideling. My 28.2 mpg tank had 404 miles on it, I'm currently at 275 miles on a half a tank so we will see. I purchased some lawn edging to make a front and probably side air damn for the car next week. New air filter today and removed mouse nest lol, all tires inflated to proper pressure, one was low low. Sonim excited to see what happends when I fill up next week.
