I wish I had someone to! I was trying to convince someone to pull it to Maryland, and imagine the mileage! (If only it would count lol). Normally driving that stretch is better, because I speed, draft and hypermile, not just cruise control at a set speed.

Eventually as I get skinnies on the front, lower it, change to a lighter driveshaft (rethinking after reading about the flywheel), increase gearing further, and lighten the car up, I hope to make it better.

I was hoping to keep 40+ tanks, but since the underbody was ripped off, it wouldn't quite happen. Maybe this tank, though. My battery died so a lot of my info was lost, I really only have my miles traveled left.
