I've got to know, anyone getting 60MPG in town with multiple high mileage tanks??

I hate you...

Great job on that mileage, Josh, but I really hate you right now. My average is 32 MPG on my BEW-5spd. Bone stock, driving easy. I keep looking in the mirror for the invisible trailer I must be towing. (Too many short trips in the cold is my main issue, though...)

Time for a coolant heater?

Would be interesting for you to look into and construct a functioning coolant heat reservoir like some of the Prius's used. I began construction of mine, but a few "Life" related items are in the way of completion. This type of setup if done correctly would benefit you in your climate more than me in mine.

josh,

I know you're in Flordia, but I bet you could pick up another 1-2 mpg by having a coolant heater( ZeroStat).

You would start your diving at 160-180F instead of 40-90F. I bet you could get another 1-2 mpg, easily. :> )

Right, I'm sure your right. That is also why I would like to create the coolant heat storage device. Blaze a path others can use too. Colder climates would benefit more than I would for sure.
