quite the drive to Guymon, ok

not that I figured it would be a good run- 25mph SW wind

54 Hwy driving SW, nice road, 60mph, then 55, then 50- UG said 60 was best 26.8mpg
coming into Guymon I was coasting as I saw the 40mph sign ahead
sort of not real concerned about being right at 40mph at the sign

flashing red & blue lights- I pull over

"do you know you were speeding, clocked you at 47"

hi officer, I was coasting as I've been trying for the best mileage since I got this scan gauge

he's leaning with his head kind of inside the vehicle

"I get 28mpg with the 3800 Turbo"

I glance back- looks like black and silver Silverado

we talk a bit-

his words- giving you a warning, you still need to watch the speeds

heading back I get just outside Guymon and can feel the tailwind- chuckling
get to 50mph, UG is reading 41.3- up it to 55 UG is reading 43.1- up to 60- UG reads 44.7

this vehicle with the UG & computer chip likes 60mph
