I just don't get Craig's reasoning on that. Is it an efficiency competition or a race? Why is there a need to run 85? Why would you need to break the law to compete? Is that the "real world"? I wonder how many potential competitors are turned away because of it.

I can understand the grocery carrying requirement I guess (maybe not 4 full bags though), but the first thing you'd do if you wanted to use less fuel in the real world is just slow down - at least to the speed limit.

Congrats on another good showing!
