Testing update:

Kammback testing
start at 55mph (+ 5 winks) by cruse, hit reset on scan gauge and clutch at same spot
winds, calm to 5 MPH, E,SE coasting direction was due south
was warmed up for 30 miles first
all are feet past a mile 5280 ft +XXX ft. larger numbers are better
Start is 40 feet before an embedded survey maker end is measured off the 2ed one (exactly one mile apart)
testing done B, A, B2, A2.

Graph: (the standard deviation is added to the top of the average coast down length)


data:


It looks like my 26" (22" past original cap/ spoiler) has gained me 1.92% longer coasting distance. How does this convert to MPG?
