Are you driving a bay or a split? ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronnie Hughes To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2007 8:21 AM Subject: [tcb] Trip To Oklahoma and Back I had Thursday and Friday off so I drove to OKC to see my mom. Uneventful trip. Flash did fine, cruised at 65 up and back. Average 18 MPG. Funny that's what I averaged when I drove back from New Hampshire when I first picked up my bus. That was with a 2.1L and now I have a 2.4L, but exactly the same mileage. But, way more power. Not that the Arbuckle Mountains are really mountains, but the RPM didn't drop at all. By the way, since Flash is a Canadian, I was really driving 105 KPH and got 29 KPG. Spotted a dark blue and white bay getting off the highway just south of Dallas. Later saw a nice looking, blue and white Vanagon heading north on I-45. Found a VW junk yard on Robinson south of downtown OKC, but didn't stop. They had several buses. The crazy dude on SE 44th on OKC still has his metal fence around his VW graveyard. I think he has added a few spray painted signs saying to keep out. Too bad, before he put up the fence you could see he had plenty of junk back there. That's it, happy holiday.
