Cool. A hat picture and a sticker picture await you! Haha.

I just refilled and I seem to have missed the mark: 67.21 mpg with my new tentative calibration multiplier and 68.08 mpg using my old multiplier (before rotating tires). I might install the prototype spoiler I just tested because it seems like it could raise FE a couple or few percent and that might have put me over the top. I also seem to be suffering a battery degradation problem... running the alt a lot.

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.
