48 MPG Potential

Not really!!...Shot this I-15 north bound in Victorville, yesterday. I just cleared the avg mph data, when I noticed the mileage climbed up to 48+ mpg and stuck there for 5 minutes before I decided that I gotta get this on video. My secret, there was a strong tail wind that was pushing us along the freeway. (Me, my sister and parents+ luggage)

It stayed that way for another 2-3 minutes. But safety prevailed and I decided to stop shooting.

I've get my avg up to 99mpg every time I put my clutch in on the freeway and just coast. Guess I gotta go downhill every where I go from now on.

How much do you pay the gerbils for the extra work they do to save on the MPG?
