44.2657mpg ! (5.72 gal/253.2 miles)
Not bad with below freezing temps and winter formulation gas. Went from 32psi to 45 psi in the tires. Lots of freeway and held her under 60mph. It's all coming back to me. Old brain had to re-learn a few things.

Both had a lot of freeway, did 250 miles in two days. First tank saw a lot of 65mph and even 70 by accident a couple of times. Sure makes a big difference. Way back in my old CRX I got a 67mpg tank that was almost exclusively 45mph.

Good numbers! Is that with no mods except extra air in the tires?

Correct. Just modifying driving habits. That's a little eoc and dfco, not much tho. I did, just now, install the plastic (was missing) fog light block out. Was kind of a little air catching scoop but couldn't be much. That's likely close to the best I'll get out of her without summer gas and warm weather.

Not going to do a partial grille block? Fast & effective.
Passenger side mirror-ectomy / relocate to inside? Another quick job.

grill block would be good and might happen but..
I've never had it over 2k rpm except in 5th gear. My son will probably take it over before I do any mods (I have a air dam waiting for it also). Then the poor car will never be under 3k rpm. I'm looking for a truck and have a project ctsv in the garage.

Ooh, CTS-V. Nice!
Numbers look good. Very consistent with my automatic Echo and my stick Civic (still getting the latter sorted). Really about what I'd expect.

Didn't look like much of an accident for insurance company to total it until I dug in. Entire dash out, removing radiator support to replace. Learning a lot. Dah back in and totally functional. I'll have her done in the next month. 400hp LS6, 6 speed tremec and rwd, should be fun. Far end of eco driving spectrum off course but I'm over 50 and just sold my GSXR so you know I have a need for speed as well as enjoy beating my best in high fuel economy. My wife hates both.

Eek! I guess that's the chance you take with something like that...
My wife cannot STAND my driving. The display in her van rats her out: 13.6mpg avg when I last checked.
