HOME. Shower never felt so good. I got a decent amount of pics, but I am not so great with pics. 110 miles at tecore, 530 on the way there and 620 home. Lots of seat time for the rig.
they've always worked for me.

I had a tick crawling on me on Sunday morning, but got rid of him on the spot...

I got 15.7 mpg and 16.5 mpg on the way home and 15.6 avg there. Not bad for me and mountains and hills. Got 8 mpg on the trails and such. Filled when we headed out and used 14 back at the fuel station. So I hade 8 gallons or so left, might have made it out the other side like I thought about.

I got 19mpg on the way home. That was even with sitting in traffic on the Geo Washington Bridge in NY City. Took me over an hour to get thru that crap.
Overall it took me 2 hours longer to get home than it did to get there.
I also had about 8 gal left when we filled up before headin home.

We rant the air the whole time (and idled with the air on while she was in the vehicle, and we were sitting), and just revved in first gear, 4LO a lot; so I put in around 17 gallons...
Also note that because of the long nature of our fuel tank, I wouldn't expect to consistantly fuel on long, steep hills with less than 3-4 gallons of fuel in the thing...

Damn. I checked myself as well as possible in the shower, but will have the wife double check tonight. Good Luck. Hope it turns out you dont have it.

Wow, they've got to be connected for like 3 days to get Lyme... I guess if he was big and red, he had been connected for a while...
