Don't forget to replace the air in your tires before entering California. The air pollution police is no joke here.

Have a safe trip.

Ha-2 years ago I was blasting west on I-80 in Wyoming into the teeth of a huge headwind and was averaging 7-8 mpg too. Get used to it!

Thanks man. I appreciate it. We are having a blast!

We almost changed our trip to Georgia and Florida at the last minute. I have family and own a house down in Lake Worth.

Have fun!

Rolled 329k. And the D light works!

Got 10.3mpg on the last tank. Plus I forgot the difference in tires. Running 275s so I get a little bit more. Like 6 or 10%? I checked the trip odometer to the mile markers on the side of the road and it seems that for every mile I'm only rolling 9/10 of a mile on the odometer. I always forget this.
