Ecky - wow. Congratulations all around!! Beautiful place to live, wonderful car to drive.
I missed this thread when you started it. Subscribed!
I'm envious of the 25 year progress in engineering between our cars. Yours gets such great highway fuel economy out of the box. Numbers that mine struggles to get with me throwing every driving trick in the book at it (except generally no P&G), not to mention all the ecomods.
I threw my mountain bike in mine this morning, the destination being about a 60 minute round trip on deserted rural roads, and I barely squeaked 50 MPG US out of it, driving extremely conservatively. Averaged maybe 40 mph.
Don't get me wrong: It was a beautiful morning & I really enjoyed the drive! (And the ride.) Still jealous though.
Are you doing any engine-off coasting? I do lots. (I avoid fuel cut/engine braking because I discovered the engine sucks a fair amount of oil past the rings under high vacuum.)
