Default One of those days!

Well, I woke up late. Got dressed and got in my car. And rather than try to make it on time I decided to just drive normaly so I can keep a nice tank. To make a short story shorter, for some reason I ended up with 67mpg on my commute. Thats 10mpg more than normal.

Trafic was pretty much the same as usual. I did have a nice tail wind so that accounts for some of it. But I'm still pretty shocked. Others have had this experience I know, but its truely amazing when it happens to you. I just wish every trip was like this.

Hi Tbaleno:

___Oh how I wish you would have been a member of GH or IC years ago. You might have been nearing Kenny and Hot_Georgia_2004 like numbers if these types of commutes had become the norm way back when! Keep up the great segments is all I could hope for and I bet you are thinking the same

___Good Luck

Nice segment, Tom !

I didn't think I would have much use for the camera in my cell phone, but now I take pictures of good segments and tanks

And if it was not for that **&*&$#*!! LakeDude, I would not be embarrassed to share them.
