crystalworks is on a distinguished road
4.8is Gas Mileage (Experiment)

With gas prices being what they are I figured I'd do a little experiment on my last trip and made this short vid. Drove from SA to Htown @ 70-75mph, no cruise.

Cliffs:
  • 20.6mpg indicated (~19mpg calculated)
  • 207.1 miles traveled
  • 70-75mph through most of the trip (some sections of surface roads to and from destination)
  • 82*F
  • Tires @ 36psi cold
  • Not flat, but not not mountainous terrain either
  • ~129,500 miles on N62b48 that needs VSS
