Keep trying!

I am at 9.6 gallons burned (of 11.9 capacity) and at 69.5 mpg. My prematurely failing Odyssey deepcycle battery has had me running the alternator all the time and hypermiling more aggressively than I wanted. Reinstalled trunk decklid spoiler (rushed fiberglass build this time)... see the other thread for that update.

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.
