I did a little gas calculations and cruising at 80 mph hurts bad. I knew it was going to just from the very different throttle pedal position to keep it plowing through the wind at that rate. Our last tank we ran with the 18 wheelers at 68 or so mph.

80 mph = 15.1 mpg

68 mph = 19.4 mpg
is that wind resistance to aerodynamics or actual blowing wind?

The 15 is about what my brothers tahoe gets
