AWAOL in Ogden

Just arrived this morning. About 8am as I've made arrangements to take cair of other things wille in town took in some scrap witch will cover the trip( at$ 42.07southbound 27.07mpg personal best for this leg) Wilco on PM.
----
Steped up to Mobil Delvac 1300 Super Diesel oil
at 280,543mi could not pass up the opportunity. Napa has it on sale right now for $11.99($23 off sale) a gallon that's cheaper than the conventional Dello I get from Costco at $38 for 3 gallons... had some wind but not to much . No CEON sum 3-7 second intervals(100-300m ) on trucks mostly south of ID about 100mi from Ogden ,before I came on one that had a similar PTW (power to weight ratio) was pulling 625EGT @70-77MPH insted of 7-750 EGT dont know if if was my interval or synthetic oil.
Just imagineif I was willing to close the gap to sub 3sec and do what is referred to as illegal drafting. 30-35 mpg @70+mph is my guess but I'll never be willing to find out. ..

Experiment conducted
Removal of headacher rack, running as a fixed cap.
Slid 1/8"from touching the cargo light. No gap fill front or back.

Results 2 tanks dated 9/6/2016
Northbound Anaconda Mt to Helena I-90 ,I-15 ,US12
25.89 mpg (US). 31.1 mpg (Imp). 9.09 L/100 km. 3.86 gal (US)/100 mi. 1301.61 Wh/mi
Southbound Helena, Mt to Anaconda, Mt
27.6 mpg (US). 33.13 mpg (Imp). 8.52 L/100 km. 3.62 gal (US)/100 mi. 1221.18 Wh/mi

Conclusion removal of the horns showed a minimum improvement with out closing the gaps . Had rain day before so cardbord cutout gap fillers had to be removed. (Also the first snow that lasted over 24hrs. ) winter is coming
Pic to fallow later .
Gumby Stay Flexible.
