Getting an Accord to 45 mpg, on the other hand, not only is an accomplishment among Accords, but an accomplishment among all cars--just as 70 mpg is an accomplishment in a Metro (yeah, I'm talking about you, MetroMPG.) :-)
Last fillup is 35.70... with no mods so far except tire pressure. Working my way there!

I agree completely. My truck is far from the best rock crawler out there, but the best rock crawler out there isn't going to be pulling within half a gallon of EPA with only mods to the driver.
