Hmmm.....good point, I am kind of driving blindly, not like I have a OBD-II port either.....I might screw around with fuel a little (synthetic diesel) when I got the car it was running on jet-a and got 37mpg at 65mph. I switched to regular diesel and it immediately picked up to the low to mid 40mpg range. I also think I might have some drivetrain drag, the car drops speed like a rock from 65mph.
