Beautiful sun and 70 but windy on the track Friday. Pouring rain and 45F for the over the road rally on Saturday.
.
138.5 miles / 1.026 gallonsUS = 135.0 mpgUS
.
Green Grand Prix on the track at Watkins Glen, NY USA. 45mph average speed, 90% tuck laying on tank bag, three hour event, with full on Pulse And Glide and Engine Off Coasting. Probably posted the best actual fuel economy of all the vehicles competing but won't get credit for it as the vehicles without built in computers were required to calculate the fuel usage by the total weight lost using scales. This was totally inaccurate. I did my own tank fill in town before and after to get the real numbers.
.
97.2 miles / .988 gallons US = 98.8 mpgUS
Home and back between days at Watkins Glen.
.
89.5 miles / .88 gallons = 101.7 mpgUS
Over the road rally at Watkins Glen. Pouring rain and 45F. With observed fill ups. The guy in the Heinkel whipped us all with 124 mpg. Thanks to all the organizers and the army of volunteers.
