Unbelievable Aero Gas Mileage

Like I needed another reason to love that car...
My brother and I drove to the NASCAR race yesterday, down to Bristol, TN and back (from Maryland!) in one day yesterday. After taking similar trips in my SPG, the Aero proved itself to be, IMO, the ultimate road trip car. I was not even tired after the first 6 hour leg of the day, and noted while driving after about 4 hours that it felt like I had been in the car for a little more than a half an hour. As the aggressive driver I am, I got a measly 33.3 MPG (!). I had the cruise set at 77 mph or so, aside from making some fun passes, etc.
Eric drove some on the way home, and set the cruise to 75. Over 250 miles later, when we pulled into the driveway and checked our fuel economy, the gauge read 38.7 mpg! Most of the way it was averaging 40 mpg, and dropped only once we got onto the city streets near our homes.
Just wanted to confirm that Aeros are some unbelievably engineered vehicles. As Ferris Bueler said (about a Ferrari): "They are so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up!"
