First half of the trip completed
Today was another big day. 600 miles to my destination. According to the ScanGuage I used 12 gallons of fuel and got 47.8 mpg for 9 hours of driving. I went through Indianapolis and Columbus and headed north toward Cleveland. Wind was pretty much 5 mph from the north all day. Traffic was mostly good and I was able to stay at “5 over” or 70 mph most of the day. The ScanGuage breakdown may have been slightly optimistic on mpg. The first 2 fillips hand calculated to 46.8 mpg from my home to eastern Indiana.
The storm that has been chasing me since I left Colorado should get here overnight. It could be messy here tomorrow but I won’t have much driving to do.
