Another contest
 
My wife and I are going to my camp this weekend. It's a long trip on I 95 mostly in Maine. I'll have a canoe on the roof of the F350 diesel. The canoe is aerodynamic, but it will add a lot of frontal area.

The closes mileage guess gets a 10 buck prize.

11.8 L/100Km

I'm going with 19.22 mpg

OdieTurbo 06-15-2007 10:29 AM

I'll take 19.23 for $100 Alex.

bbgobie 06-15-2007 10:33 AM

19.3
What kinda bucks are we talking about here? Like winning a TOy-Yoda?

Matt Timion 06-15-2007 10:38 AM

1mpg... is this like The Price is Right?

davidjh72 06-15-2007 11:12 AM

19.5!
Judging by your gaslog, 19.2 to 19.6 would be a safe betting margin.
Prove me wrong and get over 20! Canoe FTW!

I don't know the roads up there have a higher than normal drag - when I went up there I lost about 5-6 mpg.

I will say 18.5mpg since others are already taken.

A buck or doe,I don't mind, but watch for the moose.
The canoe will catch a lot of air coming up the windshield so the hydrodynamic efficiency of wetted hull surface has little to no effect on the aerodynamics of an inverted elongated fiberrglass 'parachute'.
16.6 mpg

18.938 mpg uncorrected, or 19.117 mpg corrected.
Welcome to 1984 where the facts get "rectified".

GasSavers_TomO 06-20-2007 09:24 AM

Was this a closest without going over deal? 'Cause my guess was 19.22, third post from the top.

Sludgy 06-20-2007 10:56 AM

Whoever gets closest. Period. That means TomO won. Send me a message with your address so I can send the money.
