Default Surprising increase in truck MPG

Condolences. I'm sure we'd all prefer the one with three wheels,
though it gets _considerably_ worse gas mileage. I hear it's illegal
to spew lead all over, as they're capable of, too.


that would be a double whammy in California...

Consumes 1.2 gal/hour
at whatever speed I choose to drive. Obviously the faster I drive the
less time it takes, the less gas I use.



So at 90mph, you get 75mpg? Excellent!

I wish I could test that speed, that little engine maxes out at 70 mph.
But at 60-65, 40 MPG seems to be the norm. And that is quite a wind load.
