68mpg and a new mod added!

Alright, first full hypermilling tank and got a 68mpg out of it. This is mostly at highway speeds so pretty happy with it ^^ but I can do better!

I finally did a rear wiper delete as well. Been getting a lot of rain days this Spring so with no garage or covered space to work, had to wait for a rainless day.



It's a little off color, Metallic Dark Blue for a Chevy Venture...but close enough and it's what I had on hand XD. And thank you to Vman455 for his thread here, I used his example on doing it. http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ead-28466.html

Also just noticing...this is actually a really cool looking picture with the reflection of the trees...who knew I was such an artist? :P

The trees and the tools make the photo very artistic. Good aeromod, too.

Hopefully you didn't tote the tools around on the trip

Nice tank!

Yeeeah...it's a Prius...if it did break down it's most likely going to be outside my area of knowledge to fix. XD
