Couldn't believe it at first because it was raining and I had bad luck at most intersections. I even had to brake on the highway for a bunch of pheasants crossing 
I did check the actual consumption at 62 MPH on the same stretch as the last time, and fluctuated between 78,4 and 81,1 MPG! It seems to be a massive improvement: 69,2 - 71,3 MPG stock. |
Congrats! I will record it under SRA class in the 70 MPG challenge OP. Woot woot!

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.
