I was up to 70.2 indicated on my UG today (180 mile average), but climbing the hill to home put me @ 69.8. I got the pic that show I am getting closer!



This milestone will be fun, but the tank average will be harder. I am finding 70 mpg on the freeway to be really hard.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
