the ol' girl ran great as usual.

Overall MPG: 25.6 mpg
Average speed: 69 mph

This is with 3 passengers...totaling ~450lbs, and I'd say ~100lbs of luggage.

Also, just changed my oil before the trip...My engine LOVES Shell Rotella T (5-40 synthetic).

I could have done a lot better had I not had other passengers and if I drove a bit slower.

But i'm happy with that, since I prefer spirited driving. ;]

Lower mpg figures, you burn more fuel, and the farms growing the corn are burning how much fuel and oil to grow it? And then our fuel is tree-fitty a gallon because of it.

Whatever.....

There were 3 of them up at "Blue Sky Motors" in Sacramento. It's a '99 with 7,000mi and like brand new. She paid $25k and it's got dual air bags, A/C, heat, the works. 60mi range and as fast as you care to drive it.

She's got a large enough solar array that she can charge it for free, plus, there are still 2 charging stations here in town from back when they, the GM EV-1 and the RAV-4's were running all over.

Pretty bitchin!

EVs are great!
