I had a nice drive today. There is only one 2 mile section of road in bad condition, but the alternative is a 14% grade climb that is worse.

Do we want to to do two fill ups? Two stages, one at the halfway point about 20 miles in where we'll have our best numbers, and one at the end after we ascend and descend Greylock? . Because the climb up Greylock will not give very impressive numbers.

I'm not sure if 20 miles is too short for a fill, i'm used using the FCD display. At the halfway point which ends at a beautiful endless downhill coast i had low 80's mpg readings.
