Frank's std would look awfully cute with vx rims!

I can spend $150 altogether, and I don't know how much shipping to nj 08557 would be.

DHL shipping on my vx rims was 28 bucks from South Carolina.

I fueled up a couple of hours ago. I got 37.5mpg
At the last half of the tank I increased the front tires to the max sidewall which is 44psi. And for the last part of the tank I was shifting at lower rpm.

I shift out of 1st to 2nd as soon as the car starts to move. I shift out of 2nd at 20mph into 4th. I shift into 5th from 4th at 32mph. Besides those are the lowest speeds I can shift without lugging the engine and having the whole car vibrate.

I'm sure once I get a better hang of getting into 1st and doing the above strategy for the whole tank I'm sure I can pull off a 40mpg tank.

After I get new rear tires and install some aero mods and some other stuff I'm shooting for 45mpg.

See the gaslog for my recent tank, 75.3MPG. I pumped 4.69 gallons which was dead on with the SuperMID. Yesterday's drive home was 73.x so the RT was 78MPG. That would be the FE ceiling for me. I would like just to maintain the mid 70's for now.

[SVOboy]

You're to sure that's the ceiling?

[krousdb]

The ceiling is mostly due to the length of the trip. One cold start every 25 miles is not bad, but not optimal either. If I had a longer commute I could prolly breach the 80's. But that would also mean spending more on gas.

Ah, I spose there's no hope for me ever. What a dim and dismal future.

Quite to the contrary. You use much less gas than I do.
