<html><head></head><body><div dir="auto">In June, 1965 I drove 66 from Springfield, Illinois to LA. In July, 1966 I drove "the southern route" (LA to ElPaso to SanAntonio to Texarkana) back to Spfld. -- All in my 59 Tr3. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Between those two trips I also drove from LA to SF to Vancouver to Regina, Sask. through Montana, Idaho, Utah, LasVegas back to LA. With side trips etc that totaled over 10,000 miles. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I found my notebook from the 4,629 mile Canadian trip a couple years ago. Avg gas price $.347. 27.55 mpg (km & liter converted to miles/gal). Total cost not including food: gas/oil = 64.55. Lodging = 138.60 (12 nights). Split cost & driving with a guy I worked with in LA from Warwickshire not far from Coventry. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Sure couldn't do that again 54 years later. After the Army I made an east coast run of about 3000 miles. Didn't make it across the south in that Tr3.<br><br></div>
