1) Martin's definitely a trooper.
What MPG did you end up getting on the trip from Brockville to Watkin's Glen? I clocked in at 69 mpg (US), driving with load. I'm curious how your 4th gear P&G ice-on experiment worked for you. I got 70 on the return trip with the tail wind, going faster.
2) Thanks for posting all the pics, everyone.
3) Bob Gillespie e-mailed me and Mike today wondering what to do about the Sentra's result (concerned about credibility of the event).
I said the "first click" fill-up method is obviously problematic. It can be accurate (the 99.7 last year from the Firefly is consistent with multiple previous results in similar conditions, and with more accurate fill methods). It can also be terribly inaccurate. And ironically, the more efficient the vehicle, the larger the potential MPG error using first click on very small refills.
Left it to Mike for the final word.
