I was actually thinking of adding in some gussets just to make sure it was strong enough.

So I took it on a trip 160 miles one way and got about 16mpg which is an improvement of approx 2mpg, probably largely because the windshield/sail is still not installed. I couldn't get a good reading from one of the fuel pumps, because it broke down on me, and I had to fill up some place else.

edit: that was also with about 500lbs of camping gear in the back. Typical mpg was in the 12-14mpg range
