Return trip via I-5, then SR-138. About an hour of stop-and-go. Stupid holiday traffic. |

Okay, I give up. Ran 10 miles on a run-flat spare, lots of speeding (actually driving the speed limit!) and a race up the hill, and I still did very well. I must be missing this engine's efficiency band somewhere, so obviously I need some instrumentation. Anyway, replaced the 46 psi Dunlops on the rear with 51 psi Continentals immediately before this fillup. |

Aargh! If I hadn't run 70 miles on that damn 20 psi right-rear tire, I'd have hit both milestones--40 mpg and 500 miles on a tank! |

SO CLOSE! Night driving, lots of P&G, but still doing the nightly climb to 4,675 ASL. Too bad this isn't my car; there's so much potential here! Increasing rear tires to 50 psi HOT (they're rated 44 psi COLD) at this fillup. |
