Some accumulated MPG data, readers please add more if you have it. I'm attaching this as a textfile so the columns may not line up. I might resend as a GIF if it doesn't turn out right. Doesn't that 32 MPG RV8 sound a little too good to be true? Must have been flying at maximum range speed, whatever that is.
