HYPOTHESIS : The weather. Hot as Hades. The numbers compare favorably to my previous record of 57+ MPG. What's the difference? Maybe the wheel covers. The tires need replacing, so they are very LRR right now. There was a slow truck that I milked for great MPG on the 105 East. The car was heavier because it was carrying a load, so maybe it coasted farther. Maybe I'm 15 months better at this. Beyond that, I really don't know.
