I just got back into SEA last night. THANK THE LORD I filled the tank prior to leaving in June. I got real used to the low ball pricing up in GWN of $2.83/gal. Drove to the MBCA’s shared event with the Porched, Beamer, and Aw-Duh clubs (the Bug boys were invited but chose not to show up).

The aero drag increases with the square of speed. You trade your fuel for time. One time I followed my uncle across south Dakota in my 1988 Chevy stepside. It had a v6 but usually required a fill up somewhere on that route at freeway speeds. His truck would only go 45mph, so that's how fast we

Speaking of fuel, as some may recall I have a 1997 Dodge diesel that I dearly love, and with which I can get 25-26mpg on a highway trip if I take pains to keep the speeds down. I had bought a 1996 Dodge V10 as a parts vehicle for it, which ended up being a driver instead. It routinely gets
