Took my time on my way to work today setting the cruise control at 65mp (as measured by my GPS). When I got to work I was amazed at how little the gas needle moved. Then while cruising the town for photos I drove slow, methodically shifted gears, kept my foot off the gas as much as possible and generally tried to drive calmly 100% of the time. So on the way home I did the same set the speed at 65 and never touched the gas the whole time. I filled up and calculated the difference in miles from this morning's fill up and got 104 miles driven between the pumps and took note of the display reading 5 gallons pumped. I'll note that the wind was unusually calm on the interstate today (yesterday the wind was so bad I know what it feels like to be a slinky in the hands of a small child). I just hope I can do this in the new rig once it comes in.
