Weather has gotten much colder. I checked the tires today, they were at 40psi. I increased pressure up to 55. Hopefully that will help. I'm still going 60-65 on the freeway. Still need a grill block of some sort. I've done some basic renderings in MS Paint of some aero mods that I think would help considerable. It looks kind of like an 80's Citroen hatch back. Maybe some day. |

I tried driving 60-65 to see how much of a difference it would make. Weather is cooling down. I need to install some kind of grill block as it takes forever to warm up and cools down very quickly. I put in a lower temperature thermostat, I think 160* if I remember right. I should have got with the 180*. I might switch it out if I get bored. Haven't checked the tires lately either I'm guessing they're down to the 35-40 range. |

Tried freeway driving between 60-65 instead of the usual 55 mph. Not much difference. Still need to check and adjust tire pressure. |

None. Not as much EOC. Purchased good to install kill switch and remote starter. I'm trying to determine how to mount it. |

Very first tank after replacing the engine and getting it on the road. The first quarter tank was running really rich as I didn't have the vacuum lines hooked up properly. This was mostly around town driving with two commutes to work, 50mi round trip. I am shocked at how low the EPA rating is. I'm already above that and haven't employed any hypermiling techniques. |
