The 70 MPG CLUB has an "SRA class" ("Single Run Average"), for which you get a picture of the bumper sticker! Pic of gauge readout encouraged but optional. Honor system!

The meaning of "single run average" at the heart of the 70 MPG CLUB's "SRA Class" is very flexible... if the run feels like an accomplishment, then it is. Haha. Test out techniques and see what you get.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
