I'm at the Wawa where we started now. I'm going to re-drive the same route in an attempt to get 70+mpg. I think with the addition of the rear extension I can do it. We'll see. I'll let you guys know!

I've got your green tape measure we can arrange a pickup place. The Mirage was at 72.6 mpg on that drive last time.

I tried to mimic our speeds from the other day. I don't know exactly what my avg speed was but I'd probably say around 40mph as well.

Thanks! I think I can probably do better now that I've added the rear diffuser. I'm going to wait until I can get that enclosed fully and then try for 75mpg on the same trip.

I'm addicted to improving.
