I'm not realizing that when I got 43 mpg with all my friends, yes we were on extremely hilly back roads, but they were back roads instead of freeway. I read a lot of the tips last night and saw the speed to mpg graph. Holly crap I had no idea how fuel consumptive 65-80 mph was. We were going way way slower. Normaly on flat highway trips we get like 37 at the best.
Metrompg, is that your car/ bike? 27% decrease is horrible. I'm glad I got this straightened out. I'm curently looking for a trunk to cut holes in and take the handle bars off and nothing will be dragging at all =D
42 to 20????? Holy crap! I would be flooring it in my car with that much drag.
