Good Evening Guys.
Went to our place in Goldfield a worked. Filled up our Equinox in Tonopah and drove back to Hawthorne. Ran 58 mph on in the 23 mile construction zone, then stepped up to 73 mph the rest of the 104 mile trip. I got home and looked at DIC and I got 35 mpg. Do that in a Ford Escape AWD 2.0L EcoBoost. LOL. I'm regularly getting 28+mpg, with 1100 miles on the vehicle. That's driving from 6000 ft of elev to 4350 ft with a 5000 ft pass halfway.

Good Morning Pat & Gang.
How is everything with you Pat? Off to Fallon today to do a few things. I'm going to wear out this new car at the rate of travel I'm doing. LOL
Have a great day.

Had a good day.
Went to Fallon then on the Carson City. Averaged 30mpg on the trip.
I'm liking the gas mileage, power & comfort of our new car. A big upgrade from our Kia but yet in the same class compact SUV. The Kia was a good vehicle.
