I just found my paperwork that I logged for my trip last summer to
Waterfest. (don't ask, it was lost, leave it that.)

So, heres the numbers if anyone cares. I was surprised with some of the
results, here it is.

total miles round trip from San Diego to New York via Denver was 6,301.
Fuel burnt was 206.4 gallons.
MPG was 31.3.
Average speed from San Diego to NY: 85 mph.
Driving time 37 hrs.
Average speed from NY to San Diego: No data available
average speed for the entire trip: 92mph.
(Utah had some really open empty roads.)

Anyways, I thought somebody would find this interesting. Especially
considering my OX sensor was not working and comming back past thru
Denver it became way too rich and shut off for a little while. (Read, add
50 miles to the trip for thinking my fuel pump was dying then realized
the pump is working fine, must be too rich.) Still, 31.3mpg? Cool.
