The grill block looks nice and relatively stealthy. How much of an improvement have you seen with it?

well its hard to tell at this point now. last week (monday and tuesday) i drove around with tires at 20 psi. I put them back up to 35psi wednesday and still pulled out my highest tank yet. So this week is when I will be able to see what type of increase i will get. next weekend i have set up a day to install the MPGuino and maybe a injector cut off.

ok Just filled up and got my new personal best. 66.72 mpg!!!! Then when adding it into the fuel log I noticed that its been a year since I have purchased this car. Its been fun the last year and now looking forward to more mods. Old goal was to hit a 65mpg tank. I guess my next goal is 70mpg.

Congrats - that is seriously impressive for that car.

Are you still doing only engine-on coasting?

deathtrain · 03-31-2012, 10:14 AM

only on highway do I engine-on coast. and that's not very much but this last tank I did do it more. I have become comfortable enough to EOC on the surface streets every where I go though. I think it was me trying to fight the winter monster to keep my average up caused me to find more.

Congratulations! almost 70mpg in a corolla, insane. What highways do you commute/drive on? I can't get a decent speed going on 59 north where I drive 75% of the time because of all the little overpass hills.

But that weather's not as bad when its the mid 90's and 70-80% humidity. ugh

It's a matter of time before we'd be shot or deliberately wrecked if we drove 45mph on the freeways here

I drive west on i10 all the way and get of at 610. Right lane 55 mph- 60mph. Like I said I started engine-on pulse and glide in the afternoons going home.
