Sorry to get off subject which seems to be WVO vs biodesiel.
With the CRX,I continued on to Denton (around 565 miles trip total) and pulled 75.8 mpg.The uphill 565 miles was 57-mpg.
With respect to the T-100,I was curious to see how the downhill leg would impact mpg.
If R-R or aero were reduced to yield the same average "load" as assisted by gravity,one might presume that in level driving,the truck could return that kind of mpg at that velocity.
Since Alohaspirit is going for 40-mpg in a mid-size truck,I thought the data might be insightful.
