Great job on a 78MPG tank!
Thanks man!

What's done to your (unnamed) vehicle?

Mine is pretty stock.

Michelin Energy tires
Lowered (came that way)
PP 520 Nozzles (probably do not help any)
Bypass oil filter (allows longer drain intervals)
Little Dynamat (keeps me happier)

Mostly just willing to drive slow, turn the engine off, go without A/C, time lights, resist the urge to accelerate and cut off the assh@le who nearly caused an accident passing you while you were doing the speed limit, and all of the other bits listed on this site.
