That, plus driving in "normal" traffic once I got closer to the city meant I struggled to reach 65 mpg (US) on the trip up there. I abandoned P&G pretty early on and just did my best to DWL.

For the return trip, the wind had died down somewhat... and shifted to become a cross wind, so I didn't get the benefit of a "push" back home. (Edit: a cross wind is still an aerodynamic penalty.)

But traffic was much lighter. I exhibited the patience of a saint and managed 98.x mpg (this is on the recalibrated SG) to drag the tank average up to 74.x I would not have put in that kind of effort if it weren't for this competition.

This tank won't be a record fill!

How many miles is that? Unless it was a bunch you still have time to drag it up a bit
