Re: 18.7 MPG today

I have been on a 900 mile trip (one way) and averaged 17.6 mpg. Driving speed limit of 75 and 70 for most of the trip. Tires max pressure. Stock 07 cc or bt - no mods.
Calculated correctely filling to top of tube and dividing miles/gallons consumed. This is the downhill leg 7k feet start 300 ft end. Will report the mileage on the way back uphill. I'm impressed though, windy the whole way. Oh, I do have a tonneau cover and bug shield, but those according to myth busters are supposed to actually decrease mileage.
