Have to tell someone. Got 60 mpg!!!! Caveats:
1)Was driving with windows up, no A.C. in scorching weather
2)Mirrors both sides folded back
3)Antenna Removed
4)Windshield Wiper blades removed
5)Didn't exceed low 60s in MPH
6)Light semi-aerodymanic car...'91 Jetta w/ AHU TDI conversion which happens to have all but the driver seats removed.
7)Very SMALL sample size 138.7 miles/2.30 gallons between vented,defoamed fillups.
8)All in all was torture to drive this way.
9)...oh yeah..tires very slightly over-inflated
What is the all time record? I gather someone w/ more patience has been able to get well into the 60s.
