Dave - My new route takes me to Princeton, but instead of going through the town and its 2 stoplights, I turn and hit a back country road that has only 1 4-way stoplight. It is low traffic, fairly new pavement, and I can cruise 40-45 mph nearly all the way. The stoplight has no effect on my mpg, as I can coast from over a 1/2 mile away to the light. The gains from this cancel out having to accelerate back to speed. I still have to hit the interstate to get to work, which keeps me from getting 50+ mpg going to work. 50+ going home is almost easy!

Here is a link to my route from Google Maps - https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Four...8!2d35.5063131

Zach - Yes we do! I need to get lean burn installed before then so I can challenge your Honda and Old Mech's Mirage.

You know, if we went by % over EPA for our last meet, then I won GET SOME!!!
