Oregon to Florida road trip

[Phase]

My dad has a new corvette c8. Took some pics of the under floor. Super nice. Maybe even nicer than a teslas.

[Phase]

Leaving Alabama to drive to South Carolina. Thunder storms. Should be fun. Really wish I could get better mpg at interstate speeds. Light city driving and sub 60 mph driving still Mets me in the 70s for mpg

[Phase]

66 mpg thru the Atlanta metro with light rain and cross wind. Average speed 70 mph. Corridor effect is pretty nice and giving the big boost sure with heavy but fast flowing traffic.

[Phase]

Driving back west tomorrow. Stopping in Atlanta then bham then Texas then New Mexico and Arizona then up thru utah

Hopefully that head wind will be a tail wind on the way back.

Apparently not. Forecast is showing side cross wind and head wind again lol

It’s the wind patterns. They are circular

Also put electrical tape around edges of wheel skirts. After putting in rivnuts, they pushed the skirts out just slightly, which allowed air to go in very narrow openings and create a whistling sound. Was very annoying wind noise. Im assuming it was creating some type of drag too and that could be why I was getting bad mpg. No idea how much it effects things

On v2 underlap the leading edge.

It is common knowledge that a sailplane that you hear whistle wont win any contests against quiet planes.
