No doubt about it, some areo mods would keep figures like this possible on long trips. The conditions were perfect, no traffic, no wind, no obstacles, and a LOT of huge hills. Up-hill climbs were in the 50-55 mph range, and steady flat driving was 61-63. Downhill coasts obtained speed which I can not mention. The momentum kept me going much further than if I had used the brakes and maintained a legal speed limit down hills.
(I do not condone breaking laws, as always with no risk there is no reward.)
Getting this kinda mpg from this vehicle (or any) is only possible under the same circumstances. That much is certainly true. Results will always vary, to what degree I don't know. I will definitely record my results next time I go upstate and back to compare.
Next time I go, I will probably have more hp and more weight reduction - but don't let that confuse you. Results only depend on how the vehicle is driven and the outside conditions.
