I finally broke 60 MPG! I did a 64 MPG tank with half of it being my 7 miles each way daily commute and the other half being a 350 miles highway trip with the cruise control at 53 mph.

I will soon install side and wheel skirts and replace my 200k miles rear wheel bearings. I have a 650 miles highway trip coming up in september and am really looking forward to break the 70 MPG mark.

I really need to get summer tires (I got the car with 2 winter sets so I use what I have), plus I have out of spec negative camber in the rear. Once I get that fixed up I should get really good numbers.
