TDS 2006 - On the way home - 36 MPH down Interstate???

Tour Del Sol 2006 - Junk truck at 36 MPH down Interstate on the way home. Why oh why could this guy not have helped us for over 400 miles on the way out during day #2's frontal hurricane instead of the last 60 miles on the way home? Top speed was just over 50 mph. He helped me go from 101.0 mpg's all the way up to 102.6 mpg's over those last 60 miles but it didn't count excet that I had 0 bars of fuel the whole time and needed an assist ;)
