that was with the wheelskirts on and mostly in city with hardcore pulsing and gliding.

It may be a fluke but this next tank will be a THE test.

The Vegas trip was very dissapointing. I was forced to drive much faster and with the AC on 100% of the time. Results were about 40mpg there and 36 mpg back. No drafting, not EOC and vtec-e and leanburn were not used. Plus there was the extra weight of the two passengers and luggage (approx - 450 lbs)

Wheelskirts held up under 110+ degree heat, rain, and quite a bit of time @ triple digit speeds

Oh well, hopefully with help from the skirts I should be pulling 50+ tanks from now on
