    Today , 39 deg F in Naperville and Elk Grove. Wind E8.
    33.3 miles , fcd = 59.3 x .943 = 55.9 MPG.
    The headwind hurt.
    Tank is not so bad , though. 553.7 miles , fcd = 65.0 x .943 = 61.3 MPG.
    I will fill up Friday morning.

    Going to the Honda dealer in West Chicago after work.
    I might buy a motorcycle.

    I don’t pay attention to vehicle models that are bigger than vehicles I would ever want. The following vehicle has an overall length 100 inches longer than my Elantra’s wheel base.
    I was backed up at a stoplight, behind a Nissan Pathfinder Armada. These vehicle names are so long……”How long are they?”……. The names are so long, they tell stories. The Nissan driver bought his vehicle to “take it somewhere nobody ever had been before? While exploring whatever nook of the world he had discovered, a ship armada started shelling his position.” When the light turned green, we parted from each other. But he did promise to tell me “the rest of the story”, if we ever met at a stoplight again. :):D
