The route I took back to the 15 was mostly wide open, with only a few spots
where I was stuck behind somebody. The roads around Palomar were pretty
twisty, definitely a fun ride home. 55+mph through the 25 mph curves, with
the tires squealing the entire time.

  And once I was at the 15, I filled up so that I could calculate my gas
mileage. Travling at 80-85mph, with a heavy foot on the on ramps, and after
any traffic slow downs, I still managed to get over 29mpg. The only thing I
didn't do was have the AC on. But that was still pretty good, it seemed
better than what I recall the last time I measured. So I guess all the
maintenance stuff I've been doing lately has paid off.

  I can believe that. From our last time in San Diego, I know Kathy is a
very aggressive driver. I'm not surprised at all that she was rooting for
the carnage more than the racing itself. :)
