Jethro- I haven't had anything to brag about, and I was in too much of a hurry yesterday to stage a photo showing the odometer and the triputer. So another foray to taunt the ricers wikk have to wait. Although I think I'm going to start posting tank pics there in my own "you want to see real performance in an LGT?" thread.

C98 Civic- Show off!

This morning's commute highlight: EOC to and through the traffic circle, then bump starting when the next light turned green as I approached. Of course, as I was accelerating the next light (immediately after it) turned red. Oh well, it was still great.

I Haven't the slightest idea how it happened, and I should really take the time to sit and think of it, but I had a record drive home from work yesterday. Judging purely off the gas gauge, which I understand there could have been a fault but my car is usually rock solid on such, I used ~25% less fuel than the norm. Might have just been a lucky mix of great weather and traffic patterns?

Anyway averaged out my last tank with a 3+% gain in fe! Came in at almost 32% EPA!

On another note, installed some nice little coroplast side skirts today, and my sg2 should be ordered as soon as this money clears the bank!

Had some even better trips going to work. The warmer weather has given me 2 trips at 127.8mpg (.16gallons), and one trip made during the day( got called back in to work after returning home, so the car was totally warmed up) at 136.3mpg(.15 gallons). Looking like tomorrows fill will be a 60+mpg'er.

REALLY need to finish the boat tail.

Since I also own an '05 Subaru LGT Wagon, I'm VERY impressed with your 90 day and lifetime FE for that vehicle! I find it exceptionally difficult to keep my foot out of it, but it is one of the best vehicles I've ever owned... !
The only way I can conserve fuel with the flexible & fun 'Roo is to not drive it when I don't need the cargo carrying capability ...

Warmer temperatures sure help the mileage! I just filled up this evening: 601 miles at 11.419 gallons for 52.6MPG. First over 50 this year and only the third tank ever over 600 miles!

My first fillup after the one driving away from buying the car. I wanted to start a new tank at the same time as my new, larger diameter LRR tires were installed. 46 mpg as a baseline to improve upon! No mods, I hadn't even pumped up the old tires. (They were kinda iffy.) Hot damn. My new MPGuino was in the mailbox when I got home.

Had my second over 50mpg tank this year and the scan guage is telling me that I am getting 3.3L/100km to 3.5L/100km [67 to71mpg] on this tank, this is a result of warm weather, summer tires, and much more P&G than in the cold weather on snow tires.

On way to work today averaged 65.2 mpg.
Memorial day means no traffic.

Hoping to keep it above 62 mpg for the round trip.
