Stinky

Well we just finished traveling 190miles for the economy challenge, and pulled off a 40mpg score. Which puts us in 2nd for that so far. The winner? The honda civic si, which got 3.4gallons... or ~56 odd mpg. Yeah, I know... the reality is that they probably did a combination of the following 3 things: 1) Over inflated higher than us (60psi?), 2) Drove slower than us (they only left right before we got in), and 3) Overfilled their tank in Daytona and then short filled it at the end of the run. My bet is that #3 is probably the biggest factor, and I think it's a perfectly acceptable way to win this.. we did a little, just not as severely .

Stinky? Well, we made our run w/o the a/c on, and it was durn hot in the car. Oh well, if Mike *needs* to win that bad... fine.
