Today I rode to Sandston, near the Richmond airport to get a bunch of parts for my 3 wheeler project. Ambient temps were 34-38 F. I used the Interstate (64) on the trip to the shop, 49.7 MPG indicated. On the way back I got on route 60 and went slower with more neutral (engine on) coasting. Topped off the tank for $3.199 per gallon plus 3% for using AMex card. From there home my indicated mileage, with one stop for lunch with the wife, was 52 MPG. My grille block is not going anywhere and it seems fine in ambient temps approaching 70 F. Highway EPA is 38 MPG. Those are very close to summertime
mileage for me.
