Update Day 1:
San Jose to Reno. Filled up early day 2 only got 49mpg for the day. Also drove through Reno to Costco. (This one did not have gas so it was a waste of time). Lots of traffic from San Jose to Reno. Only able to EOC down the hill from Truckee. Too much traffic to P&G. All the tape and plastic fairings stayed in place. Going up the hill into Donner summit I cracked the window and put the heat on high to get the radiator fan to cycle. I tried to keep a speed of 60mph most of the way. The SG said 45mph for the tank because of the drive around Reno looking for Costco.

P.S. Left the Harrahs in Reno with $250 more than I entered (minus 4 dollars tip for the 4 beers while playing video poker)
