unccpathfinder Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Alright...didnt make it to flagstaff...about an hour or so out...do have some internet tonight so its definately easier to type. at hour 16 I reached exhaustion and felt drunk so i got me a place to stay tonight...I'm a lil ticked right now b/c i had a bottle of "alcohol" in my suitcase which slipped off my shoulder in the parking lot and proceeded to shatter so now all of my clothes are covered in 100 proof and glass shards... talking to some east bounders at the hotel tonight looks like i'm in for a treat tomorrow b/c they said when they came through flagstaff it was snowing pretty good and starting to stick so I think i'll be getting a late start in the morning to let the sun come up and start to work on the roads a little before venturing up the road. Once I get back home i'll post some of the pictures that i've taken, although most will be horrible being they are at 65+ mph. I hope to be home by about 3-4PM tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unccpathfinder Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Alright...after unloading and having a couple of beers with dinner I went to bed at 8:30. I still have laundry to complete and tallying to do for mileage and what not but I drove right a total of 2650 miles in 40ish hrs I know on an individual fill up basis the worst mileage i had was like 14.5 and the rest were 17-18.5 mpg so I figured along the trip i probably averaged 17mpg but will total up the miles and gallons that i have receipts for (missing the 1st 20 miles or so and the last 120 miles b/c of partial tanks) I will try to go through this tonight and get some numbers and pictures up but i'm not promising anything; 2 hours of work and i'm ready to go home.

unccpathfinder Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Alright heres what I got: Worst tank: 14.84 mpg Best tank: 18.66 mpg Overall: 17.16 mpg total mileage on tanks recorded: 2611 miles total gallons: 152.16 gal Highest fuel cost: ludlow, CA $2.25/gal lowest fuel cost: Cookeville, TN $1.40/gal total fuel cost: $261.9 there was a lot of 70+ mph driving so i'm not disappointed with the massive exhaust leak at the manifold, dirty air filter and whatever else was against me still working on pictures EDIT: I smelled hot brakes a couple of times on the trip and thought nothing of it. Last night I swapped over my mud rovers from the 87 so I can swap out the chrome wheels to sell them and noticed the insane amount of brake dust on the Front left caliper and the insane amount of heat coming off of it and recalled pulling to the left on my trip out so I believe that caliper has frozen up or isn't releasing all the way so I will be investigating that this weekend...glad it didnt cause me any heart aches on the trip Edited January 7, 2009 by unccpathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
