New MPG record!
 
I didn't try too hard for this, but I did keep my speed right around 58-61. A couple times I dipped into the low 50's but not for long.

Also, I finally got a newer battery. Car background charges A LOT less and I have sooo much more battery.

Also, my first 70mpg tank!!

What I ended up with by the time I got home (had to do a 40 mile excursion across town so it might have been higher).

Nice job Balto.

Was your 90+ trip on completely level ground, or was there elevation change? Regardless, congrats on the 70 tank.

Downhill. I think somewhere of a 2000ft elevation drop over 70 miles with some uphills. 6% grade over 10 miles though (roughly).

Thanks guys, I still don't have any underbelly panels and my front end is still tweaked up. I have a feeling that would have been triple digit MPG's if my front end wasn't so tweaked up/missing panels.

Not bad, not bad at all!

Guess I'm gonna have to step up my game and try to squeeze a little more out of mine with all you guys creeping up and passing me. . . .
Man, if you lived near central Florida I'd hook you up with some pallet liners for your lower aero panels, but that's a long haul!

cowmeat's panels are no joke. They're tough as hell and just the right size. If I could haul more with me up to the northeast, I would.

Anyway, it seems like you'd only be chasing a few percent. You're already doing pretty darn well.

I already have access to panels, problem is, my entire front end is pushed up and in on the passengers side. I have to get it on the frame machine and pull it back into place, just haven't had time to do it. I tried putting a panel on it last week, but it doesn't line up by more than 5 inches.

Today I only got 70.2 going to work. 30mph headwinds are not nice to my MPG's :((((.

Sweet!
