So... on Costco 87 ($3.77), I drove 3 hrs up the Sac valley in 105* with A/C on at 75-80 most of the way, from Redding climbed from 500' elevation (with some downshifting and horseplay on the 'Shasta Raceway') to the top of 5k' Hebron Pass, and dropped back down to the High Desert floor at 4k' for another hour and got 25.4mpg on the screen. (29 on the downhill drive Thurs)

Yeah I'll take that small block V8 fun + mileage over a silly 6er all day long!

I'm down to 17 with all my city/stop and go driving. Which still isn't bad, since I rip at least one 1-2-3 a day

I'll have to try the Rain-X stuff. I use their foam glass cleaner on the outside of my windows, but I use Stoner's for the inside.

Ah I have Track Pack and 91. So it's crappy. Hmm I just realized it seemed to get better mileage on the Washington and Oregon gas too. Maybe it was the denser air as well?

After you left I5 you were higher altitude (thinner) until you hit Redding. But WA thru Willamette Valley (Port - Eugene) is definitely moist air.

You should take better notes where you leave those employees. Then maybe you would not lose them!

Those products are great, but find one of the bug scrubber sponges. They work miracles!
