The saving grace might be that they don't go 70 the entire time? Or do they?

Is he looking for 100+ mpg, or is it 120 mpg now?

IMHO I knock 15% off the calculated fe values for "real world" driving of cold starts and starts and stops. Hypermiling can get that back and then some but I understand you can't do much of that with Craig behind you.
