    It was like a dream come true - there I was on Evergreen Rd heading towards work on a Sunday morning (no, I was heading there to use the gym :) ) and there were No cars behind me.

    I carefully dialed-in 38mph and 'feathered' the gas pedal. The consumption screen spiked up to 99.9mpg like I had observed before, if only briefly. This time it remained there. And didn't drop for more than 5 minutes!

    Imagine my shock when my first 99.9mpg 5-minute consumption bar appeared. Man, I could get used to seeing more of them.

    I never thought I would be delighted to be able to drive at 38mpg, but that's life for 'ya. :D

    Hm. I see those relatively frequently; now if only I could line
    'em up solid across the display. Not with traffic, though, and
    certainly not in this weather...

    Never had one. Just above 75 is my best. I'll see what Spring brings.
