Hahaha! Totally true. But what made this noteworthy to me was that for maybe two months I have 5 days a week to get the best possible return on this exact route. Once or twice I hit 74mpg in warm weather. Yesterday, a little colder and without terribly much effort, not more than usual, I got 85.6 mpg. Maybe I drove differently in ways I didn't notice, but an 11mpg gain seems to me LIKELY to be partly about the ignition timing, POSSIBLY. Anyway, it's just a fun report. BTW, I got 102.2mpg on a two mile strip that's flat until it ends in a downhill this morning. But I won't brag!
