Looks like my best mileage during my summer trip out to California was my best ever at a calculated 31.84mpg!

I will not be pressing on with my static mount of the boat tail body to the truck and allowing Dark Aero to articulate underneath it. I estimated I would lose a significant amount of articulation and the back end of the boat tail would impact the driveway just as the rear wheels got to the dip in the road. Going over humps would be fine...it's the dips that would git me.
