No additives on this trip though. She's got 241,xxx on her. That was definately above average fuel economy for her. Normally around town I get 17-20mpg (gotta have a heavy foot with all the crazies in orange county speeing EVERYWHERE!) and on the highway, which I drive most of my highway miles at night, 25-27mpg. I'm very happy with it. I should get some pictures up soon.

The first time I had to fuel up was ouside Sacramento, the trip odo. showed 562.x miles.

I was going to top off at the station in the national park, but it was extortion! $4.24/gallon! Am I glad I waited? Yeah, $2.9x outside Sacramento.

Next subject, Benz meetup in Southern California/road rally...anyone interested?
