I got stuck behind a Mesilla Valley driver the other day as we made our way across the desolate terrain between Encinal and Freer, Texas on Texas 44. Had time to study his aero rear door and all the framework. Impressive. Too bad he couldn't keep to the ruts at his governed 62-mph. His steering corrections were killing his mpg. I couldn't move out to the opposite lane without getting too far out. We both had to get around a set of Baker-Hughes oilfield specialty tractor-trailer rigs and I finally got around him a few miles later.
Their company is reputedly giving away Harleys for best mpg . . more than one way to game that, ha!!
