Driving like a sissy got 21.4 hy.

I know I have mentioned this endlessly,but driving like a sissy on the hy got me 21.4 over a 965 mile trip.Sissy meaning CC on except for hills-maybe 67 mph-but there were lots of mpg saving roadwork zones-45-55 mph.I did use the AC almost constantly,but I did turn it off for minutes at a time late at night.
The best I have done in the city is one 16.7 tank.This was driving back and forth to school-32 miles round trip.605 of this round trip was hy miles-45-55 mph interstates.My usual city mpg-before becoming a mpg nut-was about 12-13 mpg.When I get home I'll see how full on mpg fanaticism with lighter wheels helps city mpg.Thanks.Charlie
