Took a load today from Atlanta to just north of Cincinnati today.
Apparently I had a little more wind at my back then I thought.

Set a rather bizarre MPG recorded for my Sprinter that struggles to stay at 20 mpg in the winter, especially with all my add on non-aerodynamic items.

The last few weeks I have slowed down from my normal 65mph to 61mph working on my fuel economy when possible. Today was no exception.
When I hit 440 miles on a half tank, I thought my fuel gauge must be wrong.
The furthest I ever got on a half tank was about 380 miles and that was years ago when the van was much lighter, lately if I get 320 miles at that point I'm doing pretty good. Today, I definitely got some wind help as I hit 27.24 MPG

I don't expect that to continue, seems I'm always driving head on into the wind. But it was nice to see the old girl put up that number

Now who’s the wussie? Lol
No sense of adventure? ;)

Not at your rate I won't go there.
Weather is not an issue. I don't want to deadhead back to civilization on my dime. I don't live anywhere near nothingness to go home from there.
