62.63 mpg!

501.8 miles on 8.021 gallons= 62.32mpg

My best full tank yet! My next goal is 70 mpg. I'm getting a can shaft regrind done in an effort to get better 5th gear ROMs at higher speeds. I'm also contemplating a kammback/boat tail project. The wheel skirts are already made and going on tomorrow

Congrats!

What are the driving particulars of that tank? (Speed/city/hwy roads, etc.)

Pretty ideal conditions on this one. Mostly back roads where I was able to do allot of long coast downs. I had about 150 miles of hwy as well where I did 60-50mph p&g's. I had no city driving at all. Average speed maybe 30? I recently switched to 0w20 mobile1 full synthetic in the transmission and it's shifting allot smoother with noticeably better throttle response. Also put 0w20 mobile1 in the engine.
On another note, I got my mpguino in the mail a couple days ago so i'm looking forward to honing in my shift points even better than I have been (although I've owned some cars with factory instrumentation so I have some practice with it).

I think I've just about maxed out my capability without doing some more Drastic mods. It's probably almost time to start planning my boat tail
