Keeping to 65 mph as much as possible when on highway:
One-quarter of route on a 2-lane highway with lights about 35 to 36 mpg (no jack rabbit starts)
Almost all highway 37.5 to 38.5 mpg
Keeping to 70 mpg as much as possible, mostly highway (only one tank full tried) 35.7 mpg
My Drafting trial finished this AM and despite the sniper fire I lived to tell about it.
Keeping to 65 as much as possible, drafting when oppurtunity permits 40.3 mpg.
I would guess I drafted about 30 miles out of 397 miles for the tank - I'm sure it was not 40 miles. I would guess my average speed while drafting, dictated by the lead vehicle, was substantially above 70 mph.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
