I was able to put down 50.74 mpg on this tank. My 3rd tank over 50 mpg! I consider this one to be a baseline for the new year. I will be working from this point on up with a goal of a 60 mpg fill before the cold come back to NC!

For whom ever is reading this, I want you to know that these mpgs do not come easily. A lot of work has to be done off the road with modifications and on the road with strict attention to conditions, the ScanGauge, and the right foot. I am usually travelling between 40-45 mph, and sometimes slower than this. Living out in the country means lots of stop signs, so I have to plan accordingly by coasting over 0.5 a mile to each in order for my mpgs to balance out, meaning I start coasting to a stop @ 40.5 mpg and by the time my torque converter locks up @ 42 mph, the Trip Mpg is 40.5.

Hopefully with LB my average speed can increase along with my mpg
BD could you explain this a little more? I'm not understanding it.
