Filled up again... 64.4 MPG this time! I really tried a lot harder to hypermile this time than I did before, but still worked out to about the same, I love this car.

So are you striving for more, or is that "good enough?"

Is the car still 100% stock? (Your garage entry says it is.)

Hey, Metro! I am still trying for more. I had to sit in some traffic the last few days going to work, the joys of living in a tourist destination. I was on track for 70 MPG, but that killed it. The car is still stock, it has been dealer serviced for everything since October 1990. The previous owner, who bought it new, said he usually got 55 MPG, but I don't think he was really an active hypermiler. I am running 5W20 engine oil and 45 psi in the tires, I also do a ton of EOC and really enjoy driving for economy. I still want to change my transmission oil to something thinner as well.
