Highways are too high-speed for real hypermiling gains. Some farm roads with 35 or 45 mph psls, few stop signs/lights, and very light traffic, or with 4 lanes of traffic, would be ideal. About 10 miles of those kind of roads is what I'm looking for to show you how to wring some serious mileage out of your cars.

Does either of you know a road in your area that meets those criteria?
