woot woot, PaleMelanesian didn't beat my longest tank : 803 mi.
Pale, "2 miles is worth pushing it around the block one more time, no?"

My record is no longer the evil 66.6 from a year ago.

My last tank (the 4th P&G tank) beat my best tank by 3.1% and my first P&G tank by 7.3% : 56.78 mpg = EPA + 61.73%
Your 66.6 mpg is now my summer goal
The car changed a lot with the rear wheel skirts and the hotter temps : the turbo activates more easily and my old habits (fast accelerations) are back
. By modifying more my driving (trying to avoid turbo activation and coming back to my max speed before the skirts) I should do even better
My 90 days (53.93 mpg) passed Daox's
Paseo (52.84 mpg) and I'm closed to Johnny Mullet's
Christine (54.16 mpg) and SVOboy's
Vegan Powa! (56.5 mpg). Lately MetroMPG's
Blackfly (61.89 mpg) flied away and is catching up with PaleMelanesian's
PaleCivic (63.26 mpg), basjoos's
Aerocivic (63.89 mpg) and jwxr7's
the metro experience (64.13 mpg).
I have only to improve my best tank by 12.5% to beat you all
in a friendly way of course. If the summer times makes you run away too fast to permit me to catch you, at least I'll emit less CO2 than a Prius II as soon as I have improved by 6%.
