93.5 Supra TT Auto

167 Miles on 1/3 of a tank.

Ok, now before you guys start thinking, let me throw in a few data points.

1) We were driving in what Us Supra Guys call "Mexico" (Actually Mississippi).
2) At several points we were doing 100 MPH over the speed limit.
3) Never traveled under the posted limit.
4) Did a few pulls against a ZO6. (no body else "raced")
4) I was the only car that didn't need to refuel.



So lets say that I burnt approx. 1/2 of the fuel that anyone else did. That puts me around 20 mpg vs others 10 mpg so If we use skewed logic we could say that I saved as much fuel as I use in a week or 2, or if you use normal logic you could say that I wasted 1/2 as much as everyone else.

There are a few things we can all learn here.
1) I can still go mad in an automobile (BAD ANDRE!)
2) Eco-Driving applies to driving fast just as much as it does to driving slow.


Regardless I hope that is of use / interest to somebody on this board, I was thinking I would have to post that I had a "Re-Lapse", which is true, but in reality we learned that driving energy efficient applies to high performance just the same.

P.S. There's me in the Blue car. With Concrete on the rims from my Bio-Diesel Garage.
