Red, I paid my dues with 15 w_____s in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas, Alaska, and Utah. I admit, my fuel logs don't suffer much from seasonal drops in efficiency due to California w_____s.
What we're both facing is huge inertia problems. I'm going to have to run a string of about ten 55 mpg tanks to raise my 49.1 mpg lifetime average to 50 mpg. I have 25,000 miles of inertia to raise. You've got more mile inertia, a bigger mpg gap to close, plus seasonal w_____ reversals. But you do have a more capable car.
