Welp just finished my 55mph experiment netting 43.4mpg.
I'm kind of dissapointed actually only netting a 2.4 mpg gain driving 10mph slower.
I was kinda hoping at least a 5mpg improvement to justify the intense boringness experienced at those speeds.
I'm thinking the results were so low because going 55 mph, I am not able to pulse and glide as much as say 65 mph. When going 55mpg there was always someone right on my butt and only a few hills I am able to pulse and glide while maintaining 55 mph.
When going 65 mph, there are rarely people behind me and I can pulse to 65 then glide all the way down to 50 mph.
Anyone have any other theories as to why this is?
Should be getting a scanguage in the mail any day now. I can't wait to see. I will be mounting it on my steering wheel.
