94.5 miles @ 60.1mpg!!!!

That what I am talking about, HCHII's eat your heart out.
I had to drive to Houston tonight so after I got to IH-10 I reset my Trip B, set the cruise control, and watched my flat land mpg's. Not to bad for an old HCHI

For those into the tech of it, 68deg, 94.5 = 70 miles at 72mph and 24.5 at 64mph.

Were you being towed? Drafting with the front wheels on a carrier? That's a GREAT # at those speeds! Good job! No, GREAT job!

Yes, congratulations!!! I can get 60 mpg on the hwy, but not at those speeds. Would you say the exhaust and intake is what helped? I will have to see if it will have an effect on my warranty.

Tonight Houston has a northerly wind at 14MPH, gusting to 27MPH. How much tail wind did you have last night?

Re: 94.5 miles @ 60.1mpg!!!!

I had a Southernly wind all the way there, I would not say it was ever a tail wind just a side wind the whole trip.

Today on the way home I had a (15+ gusting over 20) Northernly side/head wind and set the cruise a 76-77, needless to say I didn't get 60 but I got a respectable 47.6mpg (58deg).
