Excellent report Chuck. Did anyone pass out and/or throw up ?? That is the
sign of a true party :)
I really need to get up there and ride some of those roads. Next year, man,
next year for sure :))
As far as the mileage is concerned, I've noticed the same thing. I get
'better' mileage blasting around the backroads than I do on the (ugh!)
Interstate. Example, my last jaunt up thru the Ozarks a month or so ago,
consistant 52-55 mpg, last weekend a blast up I-35 to OKC and back, 48-50
mpg. Now I ain't bitchin, cause I seem to get mileage on the high side of
the groups average. My old (rip) ST, rarely got anything better that 45mpg.
