My goal was to get a 75mpg tank this summer to beat my 73mpg tanks from last year. I drove all but 5 days of june on the same tank of fuel. I went 700 miles on 9 gallons, or almost 78 mpg. My next tank was even better at just over 790 miles on 9.735 gallons, or just over 81 mpg. My last tank was around 77 mpg with a bit of extra city driving.

The differences between last summer and this one are; 1. the route for my commute is better, 2. better front end alignment, 3. 5w-20 instead of 5w-30 oil, and 4. I left the cold air snorkle off the intake system (I usually remove it for cold weather driving only). I am driving pretty much my normal style and the car is used almost exclusively to commute close to 50 miles a day.

My moped was having trouble competing with this summer average.
