    Enough to bring my Fuely average over 51 for the first time.:)




    Running 44/42PSI, and the mild weather helped. Probably nothing to write home about for some of you guys, but I am living with the handicap of a Package Five. :p

    Good job! That is impressive for a Five. I'd love to try those tires for a week!

    Hey, can you do me a favor and compare your speedo to a GPS unit at speeds over 55mph? Thanks. :)

    I had my cruise locked in at 55MPH, speedo was solid at 55MPH, the GPS was reading mostly 54MPH. It flashed 53 and 55 a few times, but it spent most of the time showing 54.

    This is consistent with the YOUR SPEED radar units the cops have here. The speedo seems to be 1MPH higher than reference most of the time.

    Thanks! That is what mine read when I had the Primacy MXM4 215/45/17 tires on.
