Avg. of all A runs (7): 48.69 mpg (US)
Standard deviation of avg. of all A runs: 0.31 mpg (US)

Avg. of all B runs (4): 48.58 mpg (US)
Standard deviation of avg. of all B runs: 0.20 mpg (US)

The distribution of the data seems pretty tight. I have a good test route (next to no traffic) & had nearly ideal weather (next to no breeze).

I'm waiting (weather) for the opportunity to also tuft test the back window/trunk of this car with & without the VG's. Hopefully this weekend.
