Keep it up, I've found that hills are pretty important to get that mpg up above what your cruising mpg is. A recent trip to SC, thru gentle hills produced lower mpg than the trip thru PA and the big hills. Either way 50+ mpg highway is pretty nice
I've also found that a HAI for the ZX2 will provide some good results, possibly why my mpg is a bit better than yours. With IAT's around 110 I was getting 45mpg at 50mph and a 21 TPS. With IAT's around 140, at 50mph and a 21 TPS I was getting 55mpg, both while cruising in similar terrian. Makes me wonder what the upper limit for IAT temps are?
Hey, I grew up in Pekin and N. Pekin. 1978 grad PCHS. Then I moved to Michigan to work in the ski resort business.
