Hey guys, I've been following this forum for a long time now and now in the wake of my aerocap project I've decided to join. I drive a 1996 gmc Sonoma 2.2l automatic transmission. I have a 140 mile round trip commute every day to work. Rather than buying a new more efficient car I've decided to do the smart thing and attempt to build a 40 mpg truck. Being my trip is 97% highway my fuel mileage is slightly biased because of the lack of city driving. Currently I maintain a 28 mpg undocumented average. I can get into the low 30s hypermilling.I'm hoping my aero modifications and better fuel driving habits help me to my goal. I'll need help although that's why I'm here!
