    Pull the driver's seat for more room, and put a blanket or something else soft to lay on.

          Take the seat covers off and pitch them in your washer, they will come out looking new, DO NOT put them in the dryer, air dry only, they tend to get smaller in the drier.
          An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                  That's awesome, looking forward to hearing how this one progresses. I can only dream of 45 mpg, I just scrape in over 30 here.

                    Wth!? Only 30? Beating the crap out of my warmed over B3 nets a bare minimum 34 and that's with a dead cylinder. Racing a very warmed over B6 got me 14...

                    Me thinks you need some tuning...
