The rest of the wheel body and frame had some issues so I ended up taking the rest of it off about 100 miles later. i'll have to see if I can rebuild it later when I git to Wichita.
Got stopped immediately as soon as I stopped at the Walmart here in Cassville MO by a nice group of folks who were really curious about the setup. Even though I was pretty tired from the long drive, I took the time to explain the purpose of the rig and how the hitch worked. Hopefully they will join Ecomodder and try to improve their gas mileage in the process.
Got an indicated 25.3mpg from College Station to Waco, 24.8mpg to Denton, 26.3mpg before refueling. I was seeing just over 32mpg on a flat straight section of I-40. I had to stop by a local Walmart to pick up a tire inflator fer the air bag as the ride was gitting gritty which was telling me from previous drives that it was low on air. My indicated mileage was 27.4mpg at that point. From there to Cassville I got an indicated 25.5mpg. From the Walmart to Roaring River, I got an indicated 26.0mpg.
