A little of subject but something of interest

[Tom Warner]

If you can get 30MPG in your vette at 70MPH you will have to start removing
gas to stop it from overflowing if you drive 55MPH I have a 1987
vette and it runs just fine at 55. its the air drag that lowers the mileage
as you go faster. And that principal works on trucks as well as vettes.
