383.0 miles * 1.03 (for the oversized tires, slightly worn) = 394.49 miles driven.

394.49 miles/7.754 gallons = 50.88 mpg!

The SG reported 50.7 mpg, so it was off a whopping 0.35% :)

It has taken me 354 days to accomplish this goal with 3 past fills of 49.xx mpg, so to say I am excited is an understatment :D

Congrats!

Understatement to say that's an impressive feat for a conventional automatic trans.

Awesome results!!! So whats the next goal.:)

Thank you Headmaster :) it is exactly that. Hard to stay humble with these results!

Thank you Russell! The next goal is to get lean burn up and going. Then 55 mpg, 60 mpg, all the way to 75 mpg. I think I can get 200% EPA with the auto, but it will no doubt be quite the task.

Woohoo congrats! Very impressive.

wooooooooooooo

Impressive... :thumbup:

Thank y'all for the for the love :)

I think 51 mpg is maxing out what the car is capable of as it sits right now. 52-54 mpg might be possible, but it would take perfect traffic, perfectly timed stoplights, perfect coasting and no short trips into the city :eek:

I forgot to mention a goal after achieving the 75 mpg is to go after Echo-Troll and Donkey CRX for the top spot here in Overall mpg :thumbup:

Awesome work! Between automatic and no extreme body changes, that is mind blowing. No offense to your vehicle, but you must have really honed your skill as a driver, though your mod list shows hard work there, too. Man, that is awesome.

Congratulations!

Thank you UltArc! No offense taken, my skills have improved greatly in the past year and continue to do so. Old Mech, whatmaycome14 and dirtydave need credit here as they showed me in June that I drive too aggressively in town and cruising. They deserve applause for helping me get to 50. Thank you bunches guys!!!
