I am probably not the best case with which to make comparisons considering
that I was towing my half-Healey trailer. Never-the-less, I can state that
I had a couple of 19+ MPG legs with an overall average for the 1,219 mile
trip of 17.20 MPG. This included two trips over the Tejon Pass (The
Grapevine - 4,144 feet) and 165 miles in and around San Diego, including the
rally, during the week. Both to and from, we maintained 60 MPH on I-5 in an
attempt to save a few gas dollars. It was interesting to note that only two
eighteen-wheelers (both empty) passed us during the whole trip. All the
others were doing 55 MPH. Understandable with diesel running $5.00+ per
gallon.
