so yes, it was over 30 mpg. shortly after i my 5mt conversion, i was averaging almost 30 mpg and had 4 tanks over 31. colorado premium fuel is 91octane with 10% ethanol.
What mpg were you getting before the 5MT, or with other of your SVX, on the same runs?
With the 5MT, are you in neutral on any of the downhill side of the trip?
Any special tires, pressures, oils, etc.?
Obviously, you were driving for economy, and succeeded
