3-tank/90-day > 200% over EPA

Okay so, I don't have an official EPA rating. Nevertheless, I achieved my goal with my fill-up today: A 3-tank/90-day average of 43.64 mpg--200.7% over my "EPA" rating of 14.5 mpg (based on Edminds.com & Intellichoice.com ratings).

I'm not sure if anyone's ever done this before.

Great work.

Before finding ecomodder, I used to be quite happy with 44mpg / 5.35 L/100km on my turbodiesel Volvo passenger car
Most people around here would be pleased with that kind of fuel consumption for their car

I've gone through most all of it in various places, but the first post in this thread probably summarizes things the best:
