A backroad lean burn ride in Slambo

I've cracked an indicated 60 MPG with Slambo on this route, but it didn't happen with the cameras running. Apologies for the fuzzy GoPro close ups on Dash Command (running on the $250 JVC head unit via AppLink) … I need a $$$ triangulated camera mount to avoid shake with a heavier camera.

The car's relatively quiet, other than some rattle off the shifter (need to take a look to see what's going on) and the whine from the input shaft bearing. The coroplast rear belly pan started squeaking after this was shot.

Gas was under $1.70 today at Costco, but I wasn't on that side of the river. Paid $1.90 at Valero.
