[s-cars] Notes from my trip to Yosemite...

[Brian Powell]

The Colorado altitude helps. My mileage from Denver to Rapid City was
26.7 mpg. Cruising in 5th gear open highway...

In 5th cruising, the intake pressure tends to stay around ambient (no
vacuum or boost) which should be peak efficiency.

Doesn't seem that great to me. I got about 27 recently on my trip to 
South Dakota averaging 78 mph. 
 
 
 
I think 24 MPG at 65 MPH is possible if you feather it 95%. 
 
Maybe you are cruising @ 16:1 AFR = 26 MPG - but that would be a
little lean for my taste.
