I wound up taking the kids to camp more often this year and found a better route to get to the really big highway, meaning getting to work on time was almost in sight. My 30 miles of hoping to draft turned into a 30 mile sprint and I think maybe two people passed me and stayed ahead of me over the summer. Coincidentally, I haven't seen a single tank over 50 mpg this year.

Oh, and a Fit with hard tires hitting a bump in traffic on an arched bridge at 85 is pretty exciting.
