Yeah. I remember that one. I wonder what I could get in the summer going 60 and under on rural roads?

There's a guy who camps on the TurboDieselRegistry (Cummins enthusiast site) that gets outrageous MPG, but he never drives over 45 and never goes within 50 miles of a city.

Wonder what I would get by driving that way? I always think you need at least a 1000 mile test to be valid. At those speeds I'd be dead of old age before I got the test done.

Does Trevor Reed still work there?
