I issue a challenge!!!
Compaq888 is convinced his car gets 40mpg+ on the highway.
I'm skeptical.
According to the EPA a 1999 Nissan Altima will get 25mpg in the city and 30mpg on the highway.
His claim that he has acheived 40mpg on the freeway is based off of two fill-ups, each of which were under 1 gallon.
My challenge to Compaq888:
Drive a total of 200 miles. Drive 100 miles, turn around, and drive back. You are to keep your car in the condition you had it in today when you achieved 36mpg. You said you did this going 65mph using cruise control. You front tires were 37 psi and your rear tires were 35 psi. The same conditions must exist.
Fill up to the first click and no more.
If he achieves 40mpg on this 200 miles trip, I will pay for his gas for this trip. If he doesn't get 40mpg, he pays for the gas himself.
The challenge has been accepted and will commence tonight.
