Hello -

Just got my new record, 63.3 MPG (old record was 62 MPG) :

Trip log for: 1999 Saturn SW2: home to work

ROUTE : 10 West -> 710 South -> 105 West -> 405 South -> Exit Freeway => Roughly 27+ miles
----
NET ELEVATION CHANGE : ~210 feet drop
----
SCANGAUGE "CURRENT" READINGS :
63.3 MPG,
0.4 Gallons,
204 Water Temp Max,
27.4 Miles,
2892 RPM Max,
0.5 Hours,
57 MPH Max,
47 MPH AVG
----
IAT READING : Hot Air Intake + dynamic grill block led to Input Air Temp readings of around 140 degrees F.
----
WEATHER(.com) :
75.5 degrees F,
Sunny,
27% Humidity,
33 degrees F Dew Point,
30.045 in. Pressure,
----
TIME : ~11:30 AM to ~12:00 PM (PST), ~30 minutes
----
RECENT CAR CHANGES : Same as last time. Restored my rear wheel skirts, increased oil filter size, and "dynamic grill block" v2.0 + stiffer springs mod.
----
HYPOTHESIS : "Ok" Goldilox traffic (not too pushy). Bone dry weather at the start, 10% humidity, but 44% humidity at the beach. My atypical 2892 RPM peak happened because I tried to use the Florence off/on ramp on the 710 to stay slow, but I had to accelerate to get in front of truck. High summer weather + good traffic made the mods perform!

Just one of those goldilox daze ...
