A - 37.13mpg, light traffic Northbound, light-med South
B - 38.94mpg, light-med traffic North, med South
B - 38.47mpg, light-med North, light South
B - 39.04mpg, light North, light South (lowered arms, increased angle)
A - 36.70mpg, light North, heavy South

These are with me reading instant mpg at mile markers (overpasses, one at each mile on this flat stretch of hwy) and averaging the whole.
I am finding the variables: cars passing, trucks passing, drafts, breaking and getting back to speed...

No more replys for a while, got to shower off the pee and get ready for work.
