Hello Phil, after just reading ecomodder posts this morning, I was inspired to go see what the best score I could get was. Filled up the tank to the max, then drove 80 miles at 45(uphills)-70 (downhills)mph, though I had to slow down a dozen times for people pulling in front of me, etc. Refueled at the same pump, and got 46 mpg. If there were no traffic to disrupt my flow, I think I could have gotten another mpg or two. It'd be cool to get better HWY mpg than a prius. But my city mpg is half that.
I really dig your jet turbine inlet. Where'd you get something like that?
The moons are on the way, they sent the wrong size. I might tuck in the passenger side mirror too next run. Hopefully I'll get 50 mpg then if nobody cuts me off. I'm also wondering since my truck is tuned to sea level and I'm at 6,800 ft, if that's a reason I'm getting such good mileage. But I'll see in the fall when I move to MA.
