Thank you. My more immediate goal, though, is taking the lead of the Subarus by percentage. Taking the lead with real mpg is too much of a stretch yet.

Yet.

Keep up the 33's and you will! I got another 38.5 and 40.1 this weekend, and I'm sure I can do better. 42 is my next goal...

I'm just waiting for those two NYC trip tanks to roll off. As it is the "B" trip shows 31.5 mpg over the last 2500 miles.

Once I get that grappling hook launcher mounted I'm gonna own that list!

Have you tried taping the panel gaps? That's a fairly reversible mod. But from what I can see the gaps are quite tight anyway. Smooth wheel covers? Maybe try taping them up first?
