I can see you gunning it at 110mph but damn lol. Did your radar go off at any point?
it was four fill ups at 15 gallons each then I used a calculator to get the mileage. I add at a third grade level so I'm not above jacking up numbers.

Very little radar but two LIDAR strikes, one in Texas and another in Louisiana. Fortunately it's the deep South so the strategy is to find a big pickup truck, try and pass it which will usually provoke them to speed up so they won't be passed, then drop back and follow them for protection. I've deployed this technique for years.
