Default Re: Great northern route 2

Today I got the rear brakes on and replaced the spring bushings as well as a rear wheel bearing. Here are some numbers from my trip as I just took the time to enter the notebook stuff into a spreadsheet.
Went through my notebook and put gas and miles in an Excel sheet. Total fuel cost was $1230 for 431 gallons of fuel. Average mpg for trip was 18.8. It was 19.1 from home to Everett Washington. The second half was 18.6. I attribute the lower second half due to driving the interstate more as well as the windy roads on the California coast. I also had the overdrive locked out more in the mountains on the way home. I was going roughly 200 miles between fuel stops but some were less because you fill it up when you see a gas station.
