Getting 61.33 with just a vac. gauge was a lot of work. I would be going 55 down hills, and 25-35 up hills. I spent my all time above 15 in. of vac.

It made the drivers around me a lot more aggressive, and almost got me in two wrecks from people passing me across the double yellow. I guess I have become a little more gun shy behind the wheel than I used to be. It was really nerve racking.

I was really glad to hit that mark, but I guess lately I have begun to be a little more worried on the road. I think maybe time will fix that.
