I tend to agree. The drag curve gets stronger with speed... I don't mind going 60 mph, but STMBO (she that must be obeyed) doesn't like anything less than 70. I can get low 20s at 60 mph...but it wasn't always that way.

Good work Ed! I remember how pleased I was to see when my truck finally passed 20 mpg. I hit 21 mpg @65 mph last week...so 22 and 23 are next! I am also thinking of a Kammback to fasten to my truck...
