just need to keep it out of the yellow... but that's sooo hard ;-)...
Anders had a great comment about gas usage iirc from an instantaneous gauge (on a volvo?): gas usage was almost delta function-like on acceleration...
the bit about cruise on hills I can definitely see... I never use cruise, but I often ease off the gas a little on the uphills...
I recently completed a long trip in a 9-5 sedan during during which I carefully collected data on fuel consumption. We normally get 30+ mpg in the 9-5 on the highway (75mph), but this was heavily loaded with a ski box on the roof and 3 bikes on the hitch. I will (once I get a chance) assimilate the data + post (but I think the numbers are closer to low-mid 20's)... this will hopefully start to answer some questions I had earlier this spring re hitch drag on sedans...
