I was entertained for miles. Took forever to get to 27.

Recently made a long drive from Wisconsin to Oregon, I noticed the hood doing this as well driving around 75-80.

Mine is on the low end of the MPG scale compared to others.

yeah that has to be why, cause on the highway on a long drive I'm not accelerating a lot. I was doing 120 basically the entire way, maintaining a few car lengths' distance between me and the car in front. We never slowed to below 90 or went up past 140

EDIT: pretty religious about my tire psi as well. 36 psi all around

After 437 fill-ups, I've never had less than 27.60 MPG per tank. Best was 40.5.
