Bummer on the hubcap but that's some pretty decent mpg's I have been getting 35-38 on my 200 mile trips to work and back Monday's and Fridays but that's also going around 75-77mph (way too fast but when I have to lave at 5am, then work 10 hours then sleep in my car I want to do the drive as quick as possible)
I picked up a CB this weekend from my soon to be father-in-law and made a cigarette lighter adapter for it and a mag mount antenna, I might try to talk to some truckers and see if I can find one that doesn't mind me drafting. I figure it'll keep my speed down and help my mileage.
Last time I was drafting doing a 300 mile trip hanging about 3-4 car lengths back off the truck I got 49.6mpg (last summer) so I'd like to get myself in the mid 40's again.
Also, I got that big parachute covered, it's still open on the vertical behind the wheel but I covered the horizontal part, I was able to slide the coroplast between the bumper covered and something else then use velcro to secure the side toward the middle of the car to what i believe is the bottom of the trunk, or the gas tank? something... it's holding up pretty well.
