You probably have what you think is a point buried somewhere in that muddle of garbled English.

 

we did a 200 mile highway trip in our wagon yesterday and logged nearly 28 mpgs with the cruise control set at an indicated 72mph.

I think the gas spike is having an impact, we were one of the fastest moving cars. People normally cruise at 80+ on this stretch of roadway. Not yesterday, people seemed to be locked on 67-68 mph I was shocked.
