I have lurked on this forum for quite awhile in the past, but have not commented based on the fact I had no car.

However, that has changed as I have recently acquired a 1986 Sentra sedan (a vehicle known relatively good millage) and seek ways to improve efficiency.

Welcome to EM.

What a beautiful place to go attend school! When I visited for work recently, I was also very impressed with the number of folks who chose to bike instead of drive (except for the 101 :o).

I hope the Sentra works out well. Is it in good running order?

We look forward to your expertise in the engineering field.

Best FE to ya...:thumbup:

The vehicle works fine but it has weird glitches like the speedometer and tach not working. The former not working makes it a bit harder to go 55 on the freeway. I filled up the tank recently and expect to get my first FE reading soon.

Santa Barbara is pretty good for cycling commuting, my other car is a Allez Elite(which is probably worth more than the car).

As for expertise, you might have to wait a year until I take thermo and fluids and what-not

The sentra should return pretty good mileage, gotta get that speedo fixed though!
