New best tank 38.1 MPG!

478.7 miles, 12.559 gallons, 38.12 mpg!

Almost all highway driving this tank enabled me to get 38.1 mpg! Woot! That 40 mpg tank goal doesn't seem as ridiculous now. My Scangauge was 4% pessimistic this time.

I found some more ground points and gave the usual treatment. One was a fuel injector/ignition coil ground, so i'm hoping for some improvement there. I sanded the alternator ground, and experienced why I hate electricity while trying to tighten the nut. (hint: sparks) Last one was a ground tucked down by the power steering reservoir, yet another painted ground point . It could be for the headlights, ABS motor, or the windshield washer motor, I really don't know.

I'm going to see if I can remember to measure the belt length for a P/S delete, so I can get started on the delete.
