Current mods are 50 PSI in the tires and an aftermarket throttle controller set to economy mode. My last tank was 50.638 MPG. I know I can beat that in warmer weather.
Ok, maybe not a 70 mpg tank, but a 70 mpg "Single Run Average"? Single run is defined anyway you like and in exchange you get a sticker picture, the prestige of which is at a self-evident level.

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.
