Crud...
Filled up with #1 diesel on the morning of my 2nd leg... what a major difference in FE! Granted, my avg speed was a little higher (68mph avg) and I had some incredible winds (up to 50mph gusts), but it seemed like I was never able to get the FE from previous days even at same speeds. The FE was ~56mpg over 1,030 miles; elevation change is a 6000ft drop from start point to end point, over half of which was in the last 130 miles.
I'd hoped that I'd be able to make it the entire distance on one tank (which might have been possible if I'd averaged over 65mpg; and I thought that'd be possible since I was heading 'downhill')... but no such luck.
