Any tips for a long road trip ?

I finally ran a spreadsheet on my cross country fuel mileage. Here are the stats running a 15" MadStad all the way down over the entire trip. Mirror hand wings were open most of the time. Most of the ride was highway miles with the throttle lock on. Ran regular 87 octane.

Min: 29.5 MPG - Strong sustained headwinds
Ave: 36.2 MPG
Med: 37.6 MPG
Max: 45.4 MPG

Max theoretical range for 6.6 gallons varied between [194 and 299] miles

I would have thought your Average MPG would have been closer to 40


Thanks for the numbers

I was hoping for better numbers as well. My buddy was using @ 1 gal less per refueling with his leaned out Vision, but he was paying more for Premium =).

My engine and exhaust are stock and I was running brand new OEM spark plugs and air filter. The 29.5 MPG with headwinds was also surprising.
