I really need to build an mpguino.

This tank is continuing my test of driving 60, using minimal ac/or windows down(it was 92 and muggy and then rainy today!), but still doing everything else the same plus the addition of as much neutral off coasting as possible. Probably up to at least 15 miles of 240 with the car off.

So today, for the second time ever ,while driving 60 and then 65 the 20 miles before, I reached half tank at 200 miles. Last time I did this I had a 39mpg tank.

Going to drive this tank a bit more and fill up soon.

I'm starting to think my car is better at 60 or 65 verses 55.

Also, used a gps to check speedometer. up to 45 mph is spot on. 55 reads two over. 60 reads two over. So when I used to drive 55. I was going 57.
