Jim I am retired as well. I would like to show you my IVT design sometime when it's convenient. I think you might like the concept.
I drove from Williamsburg to Blacksburg, then to Leesburg near Dulles Airport and back to almost Fredericksburg. It was 655 miles. Used Route 5, 288 south of Richmond, 360, 29, and some of route 15, 28, and 17.
Got 70.2 MPG on that trip with a lot of work in hills and elevation changes of over 2500 feet.
Driving to Richmond this weekend for a show.
The old US routes are really pleasant drives, since all the madness seems to be concentrated on the Interstates. The old US routes alos tend to follow rivers which makes the grades less severe, and the scenery can be much more interesting.
Sent you a PM
regards
Mech
