had 6+ on the cars the other morning, and headding to anchorage for shopping and a night on the town, had to take the Civic as it's the one with door locks, a key for the ignition and what not. Had to plow through 6+ inches on the road for a mile to the main road, and still managed 38 on the drive into town at 65mph. The first mile was below 10mpg and we left a civic underbody shaped wake. If I had put belly pan on this summer I coulda slipped right over the top and doubled my mileage.
