Re: Fuel milage survey

I got to california Weds night and drove straight thru ..18 hours ..my first two tanks I got 17 miles a gallon all at about 65 miles an hour or less..and it was of course a lot of hills from Portland to Redding Ca. the last tank I got 18.7 and it was pretty much level ground ,,rained like hell but still drove about 72 miles an hour ..Whats with this rain here in Califronia ,,we left Oregon to get away from it . LOL

I have a Silverado 1500 4/4 and hauling about 6oo lbs of extra weight after the wife and I ..Sure ! now the jokes about her and my wieght will start,,.. go ahead I can take it .. haha

Will try and fill you in later of more gas milieages as the trip continues after this week when we head for Lubbock Tx. Maybe get some snow driving in there as last night I heard they got 4 inches ..

Now ,, got to work on the Sons house .. gopapa
