Who says autos cannot get good mileage??

I sure don't!



On dat life y'all

This is from a 33 mile drive through a city, countryside 4-lane highway and down the Interstate. All I did was drop my speed from the usual 45-50 down to 38-43. The result is ~10% increase in fuel economy from what I have been seeing in the past.

DWL, EOnC, and P&G were all used to make this happen. I really think that I can break 55 on Wednesday's meet and may have a shot at 60 mpg if I can get enough coasting in.
