I am considering un-reversible mods because I can see much more potential in streamlining this way.
That's for sure. I wish I could see the outcome of such project.

Filled up again, and this tank was a reasonable 62.8mpg despite being stuck in traffic for (what seemed like) 3 days... 3 separate 260 mile round trips where the return was horrible traffic... witnessed two separate accidents; one happened to the car behind me (he/she was rear-ended by a truck; thankfully not forcefully enough to also hit me) and one happened to a car about 5 or 6 lengths ahead of me (he/she rear-ended another car which was stopped in a queue to exit the roadway; the struck car was slung across all 4 lanes from right side to the left side and luckily stopped by the center divider from entering the next 4 lanes with oncoming traffic). Fortunately no serious injuries though I think some occupants will be quite sore. Despite all the stop and go and more focus on staying safe in traffic than on FE, I am happy with the tank.
I see that our friend Vekke leaped to the top of the board with his super-modified Lupo... well-deserved, I should say, with all the work he has put into his car.
#8 again... But I'm glad that Vekke's Lupo jumped to #1 position. Well deserved, that's for sure.
I need to double the efforts to put Berta again up the list

Got ya AndrezjM. Warmer weather( 42f this morning) is helping me out. Looking for some LRR tires and some other fixes. I should be in the 70s by now. Soon.
