Keeps getting better! First fill up after getting alignment done was 333.7mi and 6.524 gallons, or just over 51mpg! I had no idea that fixing bad alignment would help as much as it has... coast distances are noticeably better... if things proceed at this rate, I’ll need to set yet another goal before winter lol

no new mods completed either, just the *almost* zero toe front end alignment, rear is still off but no way to easily adjust... trailing arm will need rotated under the car, 0.3 degree to the left...

EDIT: found a calculator that tells me each wheel needs to move about 1/8” (right wheel forward and left wheel back) to properly set rear toe, or at least get it damn close
