I did well coming home today, 70F in the sun again. I got to cheat a little bit because for the first time in years, I got to follow someone going 45 on this highway, so for the first 12 miles I got 37.8. But I ended up with 37.0 by the time I got home, so the remaining 13 miles which was normal got me basically 36.2 which is still a little better than normal.

Attached is a pic of the rear now. Awhile back I added backup lights which I found in a spring cleanup pile.

I did look at taking it a point, but that would have been like another 2 ft longer. I wanted something I could still get through a parking lot, and something I could fold back to access the trunk if needed. It might be something worth trying sometime just for kicks, taping on an extension made out of cardboard. But if I wanted it longer permanently, it would be super easy to just weld an extension on and move the taillights and plate back.

Thanks for the compliments Aerohead.
