Yes, it is amazing to see the average mpg going up as you are coasting.

Nice to see some people cycling long distances to work.

Got 71 mpg for the first 26 miles, behind a semi. Looks like about 57 mpg for the last 450 miles. I can get 75 regularly mpg behind a truck or SUV. Starter motor went out, though.
