Diverter bell!

4th fill-up tonight: 48 MPG.

[Correction! 49.9 mpg! -- see post #18]

I would like to be able to cruise a little faster than I have been, though. Mods will continue! Average speed may (will probably) increase.

And it looks like another week of warm weather coming, so the cold won't mess with my progress just yet.
