Fuel Economy vs. speed

Just for the record - on our recent trip -

Eastbound - speed limit and a max of 65 mph --- 18.4 mpg
Westbound - speed limit plus 5 for the most part - max 80 mph --- 17.1 mpg

Call me "General"

Not a military rank but rather an amateur radio license class - passed written element 3 so now I have new HF radio privileges but no radio to use them - and no place I'm allowed to put the relevant antenna (CC&R restrictions).

I'm studying the information for element 4 and hope to take that exam before too long - that would make me "amateur extra".
