I beat my 55MPG goal.

I went on a road trip to Lake Erie yesterday, caught some fish and a sunburn on my Brother's boat. The coolest thing that happened is I filled on Wednesday and filled up this morning and got 57.66 MPG.: I beat my 55 goal, now for 60. The vacuum gauge I believe is helping out a lot to train me. It also helps with telling when you are in a draft at 55mph. My vacuum gauge would climb 5 in.hg. When within 130-150 feet of rear of another car. So my initial idea of having to be directly behind was shot down. You can have reasonable distance and still get large effect from draft. I am so happy with this tank, but can get better. Slow and steady.
