Wow, Nutwagon!

When I first joined EM I could often get jnto the Top Five on the main FE list, and into the top three in Team Honda sometimes. Recently, because I reduced my expectations and because of all the VXs and Insights in Team Honda, I often do not make the top ten at all, especially in Summer. So I'm shocked to see my car at #10 right now.

But the Nutwgon... with the exception of Nutwagon and my #10 showinf, all the other top 10 vehicles are Gen1 Insights or VXs. The VX cars are often highly aeromodded too. Nutwagon is probably devotedly hypermiled, but the car is also radically modded. Check his list of mods on his garage page. Wow.

And if this list were reorganized around percent over EPA, Nutwagon would be #1 by a lot.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
