So you reset the SG's trip average MPG at some marker at the beginning of each run and read the result after another marker?

The reason I asked about other traffic in your lane: if you're in a draft with other traffic, it would have diminished the apparent effectiveness of the boat tail. What made me wonder about this was the 33-34 mpg results on your runs in a car rated for 25 mpg highway.
