thanks for the in site into the goal. it helps me understand the concept a bit better.

I had a chance to test my car that way last month. I was riding in my car and a friend drove as I was too tired to drive. Over 2 hours and 150+ miles latter we got home and the trip MPG for that section was 42.5 MPG at 75MPH steady state. Zero hypermiling.

If I drove that way all the time a bike like this would pay for itself in time and be a fun project.
