38.89 MPG Kia Forte rated 28 MPG

376.3 miles on 9.675 gallons. No mods other than overinflated tires at the moment.

Warm to hot weather and driving out in the country where there are few stop signs or stop lights and speed limits of 45-55 are the likely culprits for such a good tank.

My goal of a 40 MPG tank is more than attainable under those conditions with a few mods that are in the works once I get the time to do them.

Those numbers are encouraging ! Some minor driving adjustments and basic aero mods will definitely push you over 40 MPG. Keep up the good work !
