Hiya,

So far, I have met my goal of keeping my mileage above 40mpg; during the winter. My worst tankful was 41.02mpg. The best part is, that would have been close to my best tank during the summer; before I started ecodriving!

My "old" high was 42.5...and I just turned in a 42.87mpg, which included lots of cold, and snow, and ice.

The mod that made this possible, was putting the smooth wheel covers on the steel wheels with my Michelin X-Ice snow tires. They have a sidewall max of 51PSI, and I have them inflated to 40PSI -- they are snow tires fer cryin' outloud!
