Last tank got 43.1 MPGs. Distributor cap and bug helped push it past that 40 mark. Now all I need to do is lower it and add a skid plate and maybe I can get 45.

I'm interested in knowing the species of bug. Also, where do you install the bug? Do you need to feed it anything, or does it just do the job without any help? "Performance entomology" could be the next big thing is what I'm thinking.

My Aspire did 44.7mpg last week doing between 55-65mph...but I was drafting behind tractor-trailers most of the time. Don't know if that counts.
Either way, I usually get between 33-38mpg for each tank.Comment

I deliver papers. My average speed is less than 20mph, and it's constant stop and go. I'd say I'm doing pretty good.....Originally posted by bhazard View Post
