note that this is a 2-way average, so the return trip would have to be
back up the cliff with a headwind.  :)

believe me, i was surprised.  i drive with a heavy foot.  had two other
people in the car with me for the round trip between the bay area and
lake tahoe.  i wanted to see how much boost would fall off at higher
altitudes, and frequently went WOT up to 120+ mph.  for the record,
boost didn't seem to fall off significantly, but turbo lag increased
noticeably.

these are heavy cars with good aerodynamics and turbocharged engines.
they definitely get better mileage on the freeway.
