I've been trying all summer to beat my trip home record mpg which was 54. Yesterday I finally managed to do so simply by taking another route. The trip home is 34 miles but it's an 1,500 ft. Elevation gain, most of which is in the last 4 miles. I've been thinking of inventing a big air bag to put on the back of your car so you can get pushed along. Or a bat hook to hook up to the vehicle in front of you. Has anyone else had this fantasy ?
