You Know You're An Ecomodder When....you start screaming when you get out of your car after BEATING 70 MPG FOR THE FIRST TIME. I have been trying for weeks now to hit just one 70 mpg trip. Today I pumped up my tires to 60 PSI, and somehow with perfect timing of lights, turns, and accelerations (and surprisingly no traffic....don't ask me my average speed for that trip ) I managed 70.9 MPG . I literally got out of my car and screamed when I got home! Now I know I'll never get to a 70 mpg average, or even a 60 mpg average without a boattail, tranny or engine swap (which are far too impractical and expensive), but still!! 70.9 MPG!!!

Have had talks with a lot of people about my car, it's quite the celebrity at gatherings and such, and it doesn't even have a boattail.

I only have 15 more days before I leave for college and park the car until December. Time to make the most of this time!
