I tried out a new rout to work that bypassed the freeway at the expense of traffic lights. No new record today at 30 mpg. The cool morning air seems to have decreased my mpg quite a bit as I was able to do around 35 on the same rout at 95 degrees.. Could be the cool air in the intake. I may do better with a heat shield to suck in warmer air. I will keep tweaking the rout and see if I can exceed 30 average both ways. Previously i have been doing about 29 using the freeway.
