New Records!!

Set a couple of new personal bests today! The drive is about 60 miles one way, from LA to our other home in Mississippi; mostly freeway, a handful of traffic lights thrown in... I usually stayed between 45 - 50 mph, faster when gravity allowed.

Outbound: 50.3 MPG
Back home: 51.5 MPG
Now, my SGII under-estimates by about 5 or 6%. So the actual figures may be as high as 53 and 54 MPG respectively.

I have made a couple of recent improvements to Smokey that made this possible: Mobil1 synthetic "advanced efficiency" oil and filter, ethanol free dino juice. And also, I called upon the Sun and asked him to make it super freakin' hot today. That sure helped

Cheers everyone!!
