For the most part i agree with what you're saying. For my car personally though, before i starting doing ecomods driving at 55mph i would get around 43mpg, and driving at 65mph i'd be lucky if i saw anything north of 40mpg.

We call them "rotaries" in MA, and u definitely speak the truth. I tend to avoid driving at peak rush hour times because of this. I regularly have to look out for the other guy because they're bound to do something dumb.
