50mpg achievement!

I did it, sort of. I hit my goal for this summer with a (short) tank of fuel, and it was way better than I had expected... I borrowed a coil pack from my other L61 car and started hypermiling like normal(thanks to “me and my metro” for the spare coil shipped to me btw)... now I’m not entering the data in my fuel log because I don’t trust it entirely, and I’ll update if future tanks reflect similar data...

The tank might have been a little overfilled(splashed out the top) and the next pump I filled at wasn’t digital(but it clicked off right at 3.5 gal)

I have 195/65 tires on front and 205/65 on rear but same make/model(Mastercraft Glacier-Grip II) and I’ve lost all of my belly pan mods due to winter not being fair... but I’ve added a ported intake manifold, freshly cleaned injectors and the cars been lowered 2”...

That being noted, I drove 193.1mi and used 3.5 gal of fuel, for about 55mpg!

Yay! If I really did make my goal, my next goal is 65mpg...
