OMG. I LOVE coasting down those mountain sides on I-70 and I-60. With a CAI, my all time high MPG on my Mustang is a 24.0 from Fairmont, WV to a gas station somewhere on I-70. 100% hw miles. With the ultraguage, I coasted about a mile at a 6% grade around 80 MPH+ (my dash beeps at me when I exceed 75) and the UG read 200-250 MPG in neutral.
I hope to be able to do that drive again now that I've dumped the CAI. I should be able to get 27-28 MPG on that route now as I got 23-24 MPG this winter
