2.889 | Second 30mpg tank in a row, very cool. Also a record distance for me on one tank and record MPG for my commuting route (even with a few shorter trips to town thrown in)
I credit this mostly to warmer weather and the new tranny and its lower gears because I have fewer aero mods and have been driving a bit less cautiously than before. Need to add some more aero :) | 30.71 |

2.739 | First tank with the new trans. Definately rolls longer due to the engine turning lower RPM. Impressed with the mileage on this tank because it was very windy and I had the rear wheel skirts and front gap fillers off (months old cardboard and duct tape + high winds are not friends!) Need to make these mods permanant and solidly break past 30. | 29.08 |

2.739 | Calamity strikes! Blew out a freeze plug so I've been off the road for some weeks. Scratch this tank for mileage, filled up early so it doesn't mess up my next tank.
Having the car apart gave me a chance to swap in the higher geared trans and bigger front brakes though, so not all is bad... | 28.12 |

2.109 | wet 'n' windy. Tried some ignition off coasting on this tank. Estimate 5.8 miles coasting based on odometer reading minus usual miles (no odometer with the ignition off) Thinking about an injector cutoff even though it will throw a code. oil change after this tank | 28.19 |

2.109 | includes ~100mi of slower open-road driving (45-55mph vs regular 65) due to snow.
Filled up with pump at lower flow rate. Might make the auto shut-off more consistent due to less fuel splash during filling? | 29.14 |
