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.
