Good to know... Thanks!
I guess I should have qualified as a hypermiler a long time ago then as I rarely got less than EPA in the Lincoln and I put 40,000 miles on it in 1.5 years of it. The only time I ever got under the EPA was a couple of open track events and a day on the dyno. Those have a way of destroying your fuel economy, brake pads, rotors, and tires but they sure are fun. I have actually put new brakes on a car, went to 2 days of open track and replaced them again when I got back home
