Yeah. You guys with aerodynamic cars maybe can do that.
I hurt myself badly a couple weeks ago when I thought I could go faster than I usually do. Pulled me down maybe 10-15% of the 30-32 mpg that I usually get.

But of course my car has all the aerodynamic features of a brick. Which is why all my optional work on it lately has been in the aero area.
