Two days of no driving, then I'll be heading back home and making another attempt.
The guy's getting his best FE since this time last year, and he's disappointed.

I'm telling ya, racers got nothin' on hypermilers. Racers say faster isn't fast enough, 'milers say farther isn't far enough.

Good numbers anyway, and better luck coming home!
