Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Just got back from my trip out to Morgan Hill, CA ( near San Jose) and back. Have to say the mileage kinda sucked and the fuel prices were way outta whack. I pulled out a 10' cargo trailer with 7' sides, realized when I got to Wendover,UT that those sides were killing my mileage! (went out empty) so I took em down and got around 19 mpg the rest of the way out.
Heres the stats of the trip:
2751 miles driven
218 gallons of #2 burned
Average MPG is 12. 61
Coming home the trailer was loaded up and probably weighed in around 2,500 lbs. I set the cruise at 75 mph and ran it that way the whole trip. We did have a tarp over the top that acted like a parachute most of the way, but needed it to protect our stuff from the elements.
Have to say coming over Donner Pass was really fun on the way home, 75-80 mph the whole way up with lots of throttle to spare. I was passing everything on the road and at one point an older Porsche 911T. It was a good time!! Got lots of looks climbing the hills!!
Overall the trip was good, no problems but sure wish the mileage was better though!
