First 70+ trip of 2022

Warm-ish weather is here, and I was happy to finally crack 70 in Mirage #3!



This was a one-way trip, though. I think I got 65ish on the outbound leg.



It's not wearing those MPGiata rims though... it's currently rolling on 15" Civic wheels with Bridgestone Ecopia EP422+ tires from a Prius.

Last year I scored a 78 MPG tank in Mirage #2. We'll see if lucky #3 is up to the task.

Thread: 3rd time lucky! Bought yet ANOTHER cheap, 3-cyl Mirage eco-appliance!
