How the the hell are you getting that type of MPG?! haha
When I first got it, my MPG was 18-19. The last three times I got gas I have been getting just a tad over 20, which is where that number now sits. I try to keep my RPMs around 1.5 and that seems to help.

First wash and detail after 5 months of snow. Finally got to try a couple of the new high tech paint protectants. After the wash while still wet I applied 303 paint protectant by just spraying on the wet paint and rinsing off. Dried off with a microfiber and was really impressed with the shine. Next i applied P&S Beadmaker as a top coat and the paint was super slick. Shines better than any wax I've ever used. Almost time now to install the Bestop Sunrider

The paint is so slick now that on my way to the mall this afternoon and had to ride the brake to keep from getting a speeding ticket.

I'm interested in this method. Which 303 product? I have their lawn chair stuff. Works well. I was gonna use it on the carpets but says no auto carpet. Plus smells like its gonna catch fire as soon as the sun comes up.

My wash method:

1. Chemical guys Citrus Wash & Gloss w/ foam cannon
2. Race Glaze Polish/Sealant
3. Malco Flash Liquid Paste Wax

How do you drive those fenders in CA? That much tread exposure is going to get some LEO interested in you. Plus rocks are going to destroy the paint on your rear fenders.
