Interesting. Maybe that explains why my city mpg up here is terrible, but at hwy speeds air density is more important than engine efficiency.
I don't know, but I was really skeptical about that first 60 mpg run, and coming so close again on the same run seems like there is some accuracy to it.
And if that mirror was folded in the whole time, if it wasn't windy at all, and I didn't run the fan but wore clothes fresh from the freezer, I think I could do even better.
Lastly, I've been using mid-grade fuel and that seems to have helped some. Has anybody else noticed a difference?
Now I'm excited to do a full belly pan, boat tails behind each tire, a major plexiglass sheet to extend from the top of the cab in a straight line, resting on the hood, and extending out to below bumper level (only for road trips), LED lights, alternator delete, AC delete. Then it could be 70 plus range. That stuff will be a ways away though.
