Sure thing Ken. It was great having you come out all the way from VT to join us New Yorkers yesterday.
I was really hoping to break 80 mpg this time around, but in the end I/we waited too long for the second attempt. It was almost 40 deg. cooler than at the Tri-State 6 weeks ago and it was wet. So the best I can decifer is that the benefits of having a more "fuel mileage friendly" course this time were nullified by the wet roads and cool temps. I improved just a bit from 76.04 to 76.90 mpg.
Ken I was thinking about it and what you may not realize is that while I didn't improve at all from the Tri-State event, you did! Even with the cold and wet roads, and the police escort, you gained 4 mpg from the last event's 53.51 mpg. All things considered, not too shabby.
Here are a few more pics I took today:
