I have driven eastern VA roads for 43 years, so I can probably help you find what you are looking for.

Wow! That is tremendously helpful for a new resident of Richmond. I'll certainly be checking out those roads on some sunny Sunday afternoon. Maybe we could meet at Mickey Dees for a cup of coffee.

I'm currently enrolled in CleanMPG winter quarter fuel economy contest. My average in the contest is currently running around 83 mpg for my 2006 MT Insight. (Wife's back surgery has kept her out of the drivers seat;-)
I've really gotten fired up by the work being done on boattail designs in another thread here. Being an retired engineer, I really love the challenge of aero improvements. Been rolling over some designs and design factors, but I see testing as a challenge.

Thanks again - ever so much
