What next?
 
O.K. I'm up to 70+ mpg's I have added disc racing hub caps and a front air dam. I was looking under the car tonight only see a little area that can be covered on the body pan. It's too hot to block the grill. So, what can I do to up my mpg's even more? I want to reach 100 mpg's. What effect will a EV switch have? I am still working on the rear wheel skits but, everthing that I have read says that it will not help or help very, very little. So, what is next? I have a case of beer riding on making 100 mpg's.

Seriously, It's a powder and since he never check his mileage and I tol him that I actually have a readout, I'm trying it out to see how good it works!

Speed and warm-up management:

It also helps to manage warm-up by using an engine block heater year round. You are using the techniques identified in the FAQ already, right? Also, do you have an alignment printout from a tire rotation?
