which by my math says you should get about 90 mpg if your drag is identical.
Do you really get 90 mpg?

Actually, yes I get quite a bit more than 90mpg during the warmer months.
Lot's of coasting is involved to get these high numbers, but does show what is possible. In these conditions, Crr predominates.
