I got 61 several times on the one hill and only 1 MPH variation on the other so I am happy with the method.
My big concern is catching a dry day. Today if I get everything put on I won't be able to test due to expected rains.
I have a coast down run that was consistent, although not level. I enter that one at 50 and use 40 and 30 for the data points. It happens to be on the way to work so I will get that one done this week.

With the hill I coast on I've seen over a 38-mph variation in velocity,with zero modifications to the truck.It's been extremely problematic attempting to learn anything from doing it.I'm not saying don't do it,just bear in ind that it can be a real can of worms,data
wise.
